Hi MrBside,

Thank you so much for taking the time to post here about the experience that you and your partner had.

These sorts of posts are always useful for others who will look at the forum in future, and can hopefully help to provide some reassurance to some people.

I'm very glad to hear that the forum has been a help to you both.

Thanks again and wishing you all the best,

Thankyou so much for your post it's gave me a little reassurance, I too have been on doctor google !  I'm feeling so sick and worried.

I had a transplant 4 months ago  had 2 ultrasounds in yhe first week of transplant but no mention of cyst, on the 3rd ultrasound they they told me there was a  9cm cyst on my left ovary, (they did a ct prior to op months before and notified me of a cyst but wasn't anything else said,)  so when they said it was 9cm I started panicking, the ultrasound department said it does not look like the typical cancerous cyst and not to worry.

 I went for my appointment at my transplant clinic and they said the same but would refer me to gynecology just for reassurance, I'm still waiting for appointment but in the meantime I had really heavy periods so rang my gp he referred me for a pelvic scan yesterday, the sonographer also done an internal when she used the ultrasound she said it was now 10 cm but doesn't look cancerous and doesn't have the typical traits for ovarian cancer cyst,  she then asked could she do the internal scan I said yes which she did but told me she was unable to see what it was filled with as couldn't get round it, I do have a transplanted kidney in that side too.

Today I have had a phonecal I'm on the emergency list from gp I'm waiting now for it and I'm terrified, hoping mine is something that can be treated and just taken out I feel sick with worry you always think the worst. Xx

Know exactly what you're going through and totally understand. 

My partner is now home following her op on Friday.....the cyst she had was 10cm and that's now gone along with everything else....full hysterectomy was done. 

Try and stay positive..... difficult I know especially when you read everything like we did.

As for the scan, we had same issue due to shadowing....did little to settle us down but the NHS have been unbelievable and cannot praise them enough. 

Fingers crossed for you xx
