Hi I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience. I had an ultrasound scan back in early July where they found a 10cm mass on my right ovary which is causing severe pain, bloating and other gastrointestinal issues. The sonographer and my GP referred me to gynaecology with a 2week urgent referral because they are concerned about torsion (I’ve already had several torsion episodes this past year which I put down to endometriosis flare ups) and they think it’ll need to be removed and biopsied. That said, it’s now August and I am having to keep calling the hospital to chase up my referral. It turns out that the gynae team have put me on a general waiting list and don’t feel my case is urgent even though I’m in daily pain. The waitlist to be seen is roughly 6 month wait. I’m so frustrated because I literally can’t function day-to-day and I work as a gardener so it’s physical work! I’m terrified that I will get torsion again and it’s the most intensely horrific pain. I was told today that I needed to go back to my GP and have them write a letter to the consultant to expedite my referral. It just seems crazy, because my GP has already issued it as an urgent thing. I’ve looked at going private, but it’d cost £10,000. Does anyone have any advice? I’m so physically and emotionally drained from being in daily pain/discomfort and feel it’s totally unacceptable that I have to be fighting just to receive the right treatment. Not to mention the fear of this mass being malignant and what it may mean fertility wise. I literally feel like I’ve just been left adrift trying to navigate all of this. My GP and the sonographer I saw were so informative and supportive, but now it’s been passed on to the hospital it feels like I’m just being dismissed.
