Abnormal Ultrasound

Hey everyone I was after some advice, I was referred for an ultrasound for PCOS 2 weeks ago. I don’t have PCOS but one ovary contains a solid mass with free fluid & the other ovary is bulky, heterogeneous and contains “echogenic solid components with anechoic spaces”, i have no idea what it means, but They have now put me on the 2ww for suspected ovarian cancer.

Has anyone had this? or been down the route off the tests? I’m quite nervous and don’t know what to expect as my doctors haven’t explained a single thing. 

  • Hello and thank you for posting.

    I am sorry that you are going through this time of uncertainty whilst waiting for more information.

    Being referred to a specialist so that you can be further investigated will help them work out for you what is going on more speedily. This may mean further scans, blood tests, and possibly surgery, but this will be discussed with you when you see the gynaecology team.

    Ovarian cysts and masses are not always cancerous, but they have to be investigated fully when found.

    It is difficult waiting for news, especially about our health. I hope you have support at this time.

    Take care and if you want to talk things through with the nurses the number is freephone 0808 800 4040. Lines are open mon-fri 9-5.

    Sarah.
