Hello

I've just found out via the Patient Access app that my MRI results are back and the unidentified mass is malignant.

I'm gutted.

I had an appointment with the consultant on Monday (MRI was last Friday) and the results weren't back.  She said she hoped it might be a pedunculated fibroid and that she'd be back in touch with a new appointment to discuss treatment options.  I've not slept for a couple of weeks since the mass was first found on an ultrasound and so I couldn't resist looking at the result on the app because I'd hoped it would conclude there was nothing to worry about and I could get some sleep.

But I got the other answer so am now waiting in limbo for the call from someone to bring me back in to tell me the news I already know.

I am so grateful to the nurse who spotted my coil strings were missing because without her insisting I had an ultrasound to locate it, I'd be wandering around blissfully unaware that this was happening.  When I'd spoken to my GP that I was having all sorts of related symptoms I was told it was likely perimenopause - but if I wasn't having hot flushes, it probably wasn't that either.

I have a daughter who is 14 and I can't bear the thought of her losing me after losing three grandparents in the last few years, and her father walking out on her, after she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 10.

Just hanging it out here as I don't know who else to speak to.
