Large ovarian cyst

Just been diagnosed with a 10cm ovarian cyst.  Other than feeling it in my stomach and the need to wee a bit more urgently I had no other symptoms.

Had a tranvaginal scan and have an mri Friday.

I'm 52 and extremely scared that it's going to be the worst case scenario.

Apparently my CA125 bloods were clear but now taken again and some kind of renal blood test.

They haven ruled out cancer said something about the blood test not showing enough and saying it might not show up some enzyme.  

Anyone experienced the same situation.

im so so scared it's going to be too late for me.

Apparently the cyst itself was the same one I had back in 2013. This said cyst was small then and was going to be removed back then but a internal scan prior to the op they said it had gone.  So now I find out it hasn't.  That's also upset me as I've been left with something that's now grown through it being missed.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some health concerns at the moment. It's understandable that you're' feeling anxious about things. 

    I hope that the MRI went smoothly yesterday. It sounds as if the hospital has given you some positive news to keep in mind up until this point. Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long to hear the results and the team will be able to give you some further reassurance. 

    If you'd like to chat with one of our team of nurses for some support and advice you're welcome to give them a call. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm (excluding bank holidays) on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
