Hello beautifull people

I have lower abdominal pain,mostly on right side last 3 months following with lower back pain and feeling bloated,last period I cant eat to much and if I do I want to vomit as I feel nausea. I had regular stool but 2 last days since I had diarea I didnt go to the toilet but I didnt eat much as well. I had few transvaginal scan in hospital,they told me it is endometriosis,they done CT scan and didnt see anything bad. Today I went to private ulstrasound and lady told me I have dermoid cyst and she doesnt exclude other possibilites,I had CA125 33 one months ago but she want to repeat ut and do the MRI scan. I am really anxious this period,I am trying not to be but with this abdominal pain which is not going away is not possible to think positive sometimes. Help please...btw I am 34 years old,I had endometriosis on left ovary and they remove it together,and I have fobroid. In the hospital the tought I have endometriosis 1cm 2 months ago and today lady told me.its 3cm and its dermoid cyst,I dont k ow what to think anymore...sometimes I am desperated.

    Hello Majusha and welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    It's good you are getting this looked into as these symptoms sound rather debilitating. It's good news that the CT scan didn't flag anything concerning and I hope that your remaining tests will be reassuring and show nothing of concern. It's normal to be anxious at the moment with this persistent abdominal pain but you are in very capable hands and it's just a matter of time now and you will get some clarity on what is going on. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
