Lining of womb has thickened & cyst found on right ovary. So worried.

Back story 

March 2022 iget told I have breast cancer and my meriva coil needs to be removed 

I Bled heavy 3 times in a matter or weeks only stopping for few days 

Each period is heavy so I see Dr while I'm waiting for test etc to check stages of breast cancer 

Dr does urgent referral to gynie April 2022 

Cancer is er+

Her 2+

So I start chemo .periods stops.. have surgery Sept 2022 radiotherapy April 2023 due to post op infection

Start tamoxifen March 2023 

Gynie appointment arrive 1 year later April 2023 

She does a ultrasound and it shows thickening 6.9mm

May 23 does biopsy 

Sample was small but she signs of anything 

Reorder ultrasound and transviginal scan November 

Now thickening iand cystic is 22.4mm

14mm simple cyston right overy 

And can't see left overy 

Not had period in 18months but 8 months from both scans my thickening almost trebles 

Got urgent gynie appointment as to see what she wants to do next 

Brain working overtime as thickening that much in 8 months can't be good  

  • I'm really sorry to hear of the changes that were found in your latest ultrasound and transvaginal scan and for the worry this is understandably causing.

    I have come across many discussions within the community by members who have been in a similar situation, so you are not alone, and hopefully it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and share their experiences and advice.

    If you'd like to talk any of this through with someone, then don't hesitate to give our cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040. Their phone lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they'll do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind ease.

    We're thinking of you lady_penelope and wishing you all the best with your upcoming gynaecology appointment.

    Kind regards.
