MRI refer to MDT

I have suffered with ovary cysts that come and go and I've had fibroids for few years now (found out in 2016). I've had one small surgery but the fibroids have continued to grow. I had an mri last year and was put on the waiting list for keyhole surgery. Been waiting a year then sent for another mri to assess the situation. I got my results yesterday after 5 wk wait! Mri said to refer to mdt. Concerns were fluid at top of abdomen and small amount of fluid by left ovary. Normal right ovary. No masses on the left. Consultant said that the fluid was the problem. I have 2 large fibroids and a number of small ones. My womb is large at 15cms and my left urethra is dialated. I'm scared can't eat or sleep. Anyone had this ?

  • Hello Itsonlyme and a big welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    I am sorry to hear you are feeling so worried it is making you unable to eat or sleep. I can imagine it is a very stressful time for you as you are waiting to find out what comes out of the MDT assessment. If you see this wait is impacting on your quality of life and making you unable to sleep or eat, do mention this to your GP who will be able to help and advise you. I hope that you get some answers soon as to what is causing this build up of fluid at the top of your abdomen.  

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. There are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news.

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
