I'm glad it went well, and I hope she's still doing well. (Not sure what a biopsy is, and Google translate isn't helping. Removing both her ovaries I understood, though. Yikes, that sounds scary.)
Thanks, bb! A biopsy is where they go in and take just a piece of the cyst (usually using a long needle to extract it) and then test that piece for cancer. If it is cancer, they remove the whole thing. If it isn't cancer, they tend to leave it alone rather than risk surgery. Apparently with Grandma they just went straight for the surgery and skipped the whole biopsy/testing phase altogether. /shrugs/
She is fully recovered now and I saw her a week ago and she seems good! <3
