Hello
I've just recently been to GP with what I thought was a hernia.
Upon examination, she found a pelvic mass and performed bloods there and then and referred me for Ultrasound. It has indicated that my CA125 is elevated, and the Ultrasound has found a 20cm cyst? on my right ovary. I had a hysterectomy performed 10 years ago at 41.
I have seen Gynaecologist who referred me for MRI, which I had last week and he said that I would then be discussed at MDT as soon as scan reported and I'd be recalled back to clinic. He said whatever happens, I will be requiring surgery to remove the lump, both ovaries and tubes.
As I say, I'm now 51....post menopausal and have a high risk of breast cancer (on annual screening programme due to mum, 2 aunts and 3 other members of family on mums side). The Consultant did ask if I had even been offered BRAC1/2 screening but I said I hadn't.
Now I'm just waiting for results from MRI and the next plan of action. I'm finding this so difficult and am desperately trying to not google!
Aside from this I generally feel unwell - the constant bloating, fatigue, acid reflux and the general heaviness I feel with my stomach. I can't cope with normal meals so eating little and often.
