Question: i also have ovarian cyst since last june that has not changed in size at all, now my urine shows high levels of dopamine. I'm wondering could this be cancer that spread from the ovary to my liver or another organ in that area?

Please be aware that ovarian cysts are not cancer. The area that you are indicating hurts is where your liver is. Also, your adrenal glands, which sit on top of your kidneys are in this area. Your adrenal glands secrete dopamine in response to many triggers both chemical and physiologic(ie like stress). There are many reasons why dopamine could be present in urine. You should make your primary physician aware of the pain that you are experiencing. Between now and your next appointment, you should keep a log of the pain. Write down when you felt the pain(date, time of day) and what you were doing when the pain began. Descibe the pain-sharp, dull, stabbing, throbbing, shooting, ect. Tell the duration, or how long it lasted. What, if anything, makes the pain worse or better. If between now and your next appointment, the pain changes in intensity, frequency,or duration, you should see your physician more quickly. And for your question as to might it be cancer, there is no way of telling without further information.
This pain could be caused by a twisted rib. Get it checked out. Either way you should seek professional help.
