Ovarian cancer ?

i have 2 cyst .

one is 5 cm and had a solid component in it .

i have had 2 scans and they can’t see what’s inside .

i have to have urgent operation to remove ovaries and tubes ( had womb removed 25 years ago ) having this on the 20th June .

I have been told low risk but they can’t say if it’s cancer till I have my ovaries removed.

unfortunately can’t do key hole so have to have to have bigger operation.

i have only in the last 2 months had major spine surgery which I am still recovering from..

feeling very anxious

  • Hi I know exactly how you feel as 3 years ago just as covid broke out I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer on my left side.  My ca125 was 17 and on normal scans they found nothing although I had the pain in my right side? Eventually they did a 3d scan on me & found it. They found I had several adhesions spreading out from it & it took over 4hours to get out, by scraping them off. My biopsies came back positive & I had to have several months of chemo. The operation though was fine, I had to have a full Hysterectomy & both tubes removed.  I found the best thing to do as soon as you come round drink plenty of water & try & sit up as soon as you feel you can.  I was up & walking around the next day. And was out the following day. Take it slow & do not lift anything.  I found the operation I got over but the mental issue of having a cancer  diagnosis took the longest (2 years)to get over. Worrying with every blood test & check if it had actually gone. As covid lockdown came as I had my operation I had no support so it mentally hit me pretty bad.   If you can get support & people to talk to after do so.  I f you have chemo I would advise shaving your hair off before it begins as It is not so traumatic when it starts to go

  • I forgot to add GOOD LUCK ALL with your surgery & my kindest wishes to you all xx
