Hi everyone im new

Ive been urgently referred two week pathway to gynecologist, got cysts on ovaries and in my womb very thick endometria and swollen kidney, my gp said they are concerning results and need to rule our cancer, im nearly 40 and scared. Ive had major health scares and surgery in past. Im very fatigued all the time but i suffer from fibromyalgia too but seem much worse really last 6 months at least. Can't eat much for a while but gaining weight, tummy very swollen ive been here before but last time it was sepsis infection. I dont think drs are thinking that now though. Is anyone else in same situation? or has been and how did you get on with it all? Many thanks in advance for your help. 

  • Hi Chrissyh,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read of what you're going through at the moment and I can imagine this must be unsettling.

    I hope it's not too long for you to wait to find out more about this and any next steps.

    Whatever happens, we're always here for support on this forum so do use it as much as is helpful to write things down and to talk to others who understand.

  • Hi ben i got my appointment come on saturday for this friday. Im grateful for your reply and kind words at what is a scarey time, so thankyou. My hubby is bipolar and i feel he is at breaking point with worry, i suffer with anxiety and its through the roof, i think i may call one of the cruk nurses for a chat, im hoping they can reassure me or at least tell me what will happen in my appointment as the letter just says i got an appointment with and gynecologist in rapid access clinic and to bring a friend or relative, that alone is scarey to me, as it doesnt explain what will happen in my appointment. Thankyou for taking the time to reply and I'll update everyone on here when i know more. Many thanks. 

  • Hi everyone im up in the night worried in pain and so tired, fatigue getting worse. Appointments on friday, getting closer. I tried to take my mind off it all and do something creative but only managed 10 minutes as im tired all the time, my poor mom so worried and hubby. I hope ill be ok but fear the worst. My hips snd pelvis now feel inflamed and i feel like im going to struggle to get to the hospital even in a taxi. I will do it but it will definetly be a struggle. Take care all.
