My wife went through something similar about 12 years ago.
The doctors had diagnosed her with ovarian cancer (a nasty one) but when they got inside found bad endometriosis and ovarian cysts. In that case endometriosis was a good find. The pre-operation stuff was pretty interesting. If we hadn’t been so worried, I could have made a lot of very bad jokes but I tried to be sensitive.

Don’t worry though; women are not alone; once men turn 50 they get the long tube up the other end, great fun with a day or so of cleaning out your insides prior to it all. And the doctor doesn’t even buy you a drink first as anyone should who is going to get that close to you!

I am glad everything turned out ok.
