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. So sorry I've not really been on any chats etc. My surgery went well, the surgeon said the cyst was bigger than expected and it had glued itself to other organs so a nightmare to remove. I chose to have laparoscopy in the end and have just the right ovary and fallopian tube removed. They had to make 4 incisions, I'm also waiting on omental biopsy results and other biopsy if positive then I will be in for full hysterectomy. I'm doung OK, very sore but moving around a bit more now. Good to here your surgery went OK. I think tiredness is the biggest thing for me and struggling with not being able to be so independent. I have a follow up on 7th Aug with treatment plan and a repeat CA125 on 1st Aug. Hopefully you won't be waiting too long for biopsy results x

  • My cyst was attached to my bowel so a bit of a nightmare, ,

    I must be starting to feel better as bored , so much I can’t do but won’t to.

    I had 2 major spine operation in March , that is a 6- 12 month recovery so physio is on his hold , which is more stress.

    I feel shattered , , I am surprised I have not had any nurse / doctor check me out , just seem to be left to get on with it .

    waiting for a date for follow up but think about 8 weeks if biopsy ok 

    Hope all your results are good news .

    I will be pleased when  I can I drive , hopefully start walking the dog next week if he does not pull .

  • I'm looking forward to walking my dog but been told 6 weeks. 

    Wow you had spine surgery in March as well, that's full on.

    Good luck with your follow up, hopefully all will be OK x
