Ct scan post operation

I had a laparoscopy cyscteomy on the 2nd of feb. They removed 5 cysts from both of my ovaries. The mri originally only showed 1. I got a call today from my gynae-oncology nurse who said my consultant has asked for me to go for a ct scan before my post op appointment on the 23rd of March. She wouldn't tell me my results of my surgery and said it had to be my consultant. I am now worried. Does this mean cancer?  I am only 26

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear that you are waiting for results and I can only imagine how unsettling this must be for you. 

    I am afraid without being involved in your care it is impossible for me to say what it all means.

    When someone is being investigated it is not unusual to have several different tests to try to get to the bottom of someone's symptoms.

    Try not to overthink it for now. There are other conditions other then cancer that patients can get.

    You may however find it helpful to take someone with you to your appointment so you can both listen to what the doctor has to say.

    If you would like to chat to one of the nurses on the helpline then do give us a ring.

    We are here Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm and our helpline number is Freephone 0808 800 4040.

    All the best,

    Catherine
