Hi everyone needing advice . I’m under hospital as I have a cyst on my left ovary . Recently had a scan and it showed 75 by 65 by 75 cyst . The hospital has now arranged for me to have blood tests to check it further . Di you reckon the hospital doctor is now assuming it’s cancer . Has anyone been through this

  • Hello Shellbaby

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been told you have an ovarian cyst. It's understandable that you may have questions about what this might mean for you and what treatment the hospital will recommend. 

    It's good to hear that the doctors have ordered some additional tests. It's fairly common for health professionals to want to gather further information before making a diagnosis so try not to read too much into this. 

    If it would help to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to give them a call. l know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,

    Hi I've been monitored for a left ovarian cyst for over a year and blood tests mines nearly 6cm now they said it does not look sinister. I've been given the option to have it removed, I am now considering to have it removed they are contacting me on Friday for latest results.  I think the blood test is routine to make sure normal range.  Try not to worry to much.
