Hi CateACT
When I was diagnosed in 2007 I went for the scans etc and they too found a cyst on my ovarie that was greater than 5 cm. Initially they were not sure it was just a cyst, but after another ultrasound they were convinced that it was just a cyst and apparently they just leave them alone unless they are greater than 5 cm which mine was. It was decided that I could not delay chemo and I commenced chemo with the view to keep an eye on the cyst. I had another ultrasound/scan after my second chemo and they cyst was GONE. I was really relieved that it had gone away on its own.
Not sure what your plan of action is, but thought that I would share my experience with you.
My eldest started Prep the week after I was diagnosed too, so hopefully you get a treatment plan so they can start school knowing that you are feeling more in control. How old are your children? Mine were 2 and 4 so not really old enough to know what was going on, but they do take their cue from you, so if you appear calm and in control they will feel the same too.
All the best .
