Hello everyone 

My name is Marta and I am 30years old,  I am now suspected of having ovarian cancer. I am so worried and scared, waiting for a diagnosis will kill me. I have 2 lovely children, Boy age 7 and Girl age 2

It started 7 weeks ago when I had some stabbing pain in the  right side of my pelvic. When I touched there I felt something was wrong because the place was very hard and painful. I decided to ring my gp and after a phone consultation he decided to send me for blood test and said that within 4 weeks I will get a letter with the date and time of the pelvic ultrasound to see what's going on.

My blood test including CA-125 levels was all normal and nothing to worry about. Also the stabbing pain after few days was gone so I have calmed down a bit.

After a week or so I started to feel a lump at the bottom of my belly which was bigger when my bladder was full. It was very big then and I could  feel it almost under my belly bar.

I went for my ultrasound  3 weeks later which showed a 9cm right pelvic mass with 5cm irregular solid appearing component with strong vascularity. My gp reffered me same day to the Two week wait clinic (urgent suspected cancer refferal)

When I went for the appointment with my consultant at hospital, On examination she felt a right adnexal mass which felt firm, mobile but not cystic.

She requested some more tumour markers blood test and MRI scan to assess the adnexal mass which I already had and I am now waiting for the results and next appointment with her to discuss next step.

She calmed me down a bit and said it is probably not cancer because I am young and no-one in my family had this cancer but I am still terribly afraid.

What bothers me the most is that the scan showed component with strong vascularity which I know is almost in malignant masses.

Does anyone had similar situation to mine which ended up well?

Thank you in advance for all the responds

Marta
