worried sick

hi I've just signed up now to get some advice. I have been suffering for about 8months with hip pain.my GP sent me for a pelvic ultrasound on Monday and the lady that did it found something on my fallopian tubes. both the ultra sounds we're very painful and not what I expected...I'm still sore 3 days later.

anyway she told me she would send my results straight back to my doctors and I would have them that day....it's now Wednesday and they still haven't arrived...I'm really worried...I'm thinking all kinds...I have all the symptoms of ovarian cancer and I know other things can have the same symptoms  but I cant help this worry. has anybody else experienced anything similar?

  • Hi - sorry you're so worried It's a horrid feeling I know. Waiting for results isn't the easiest thing to do & it's a shame yours seem to be taking longer than they said they would. Have you phoned your GP? S/he might chase them up for you.

    I don't know how you know you have all the symptoms of ovarian cancer & do hope you haven't been googling!? Doing that causes all kinds of unnecessary worry - most of it is rubbish & stuff that isn't rubblish really can only be properly understood by people who are medically qualified.

    Try to keep busy & not focus on negative thoughts until the results do come through. Easy to say I know but honestly best to do if you can manage it. Don't allow that nasty worm called fear to wiggle it's way into your brain. Do post & let us know how you get on or for a bit of support. Fingers crossed all be good news. Take care. x
