Cystic lesion with vascularity

Hi 

I’m so anxious 

I can hardly eat , sleep or function 

I went to the ED due to pain in my left side and nausea 

They were fantastic and ordered a abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound which showed a simple cyst in my left ovary but also an incidental finding of a cystic lesion with its own blood supply surrounding my urethra 

The dr explained that it was very small 4mm but said an MRI would be needed 

3 days later I’m having the MRI and on my way there the post came, I opened the letter from the hospital regarding my notes and it said that the cyst is 4 cms …… 

this has sent me spiralling completely 

Part of me thinks I need to think positive but the other part of me is thinking that I need to prepare myself for the worst 

How do you cope with the waiting for results ? I feel so alone and don’t want to keep crying in front of my family but at times I feel so overwhelmed 

I’d be so grateful for any tips , advice or suggestions 

many thanks

  • I'm so sorry to hear about the cyst that has been found and the anxious wait you now have for your test results.

    So many of our members know how stressful and scary this time can be so you are most certainly not alone Rach, and I'm sure it won't be long until our community offer you their support and words of advice.

    I do hope this article we have on how to cope with waiting for news will help as well but if you would like to talk any of this through with one of our nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They are there to support you and will do all they can to put your mind at ease whilst you wait.

    We're thinking of you Rach and will have fingers crossed for good news when the results come through.

    Kind regards,

  • Thank you for your kind words Steph 

    I know it’s just a waiting game and whilst I’m at work I try to keep positive but I’m struggling today 

    many thanks ️
