Doctor found something on Ovary -scared

On my mum's ct scan results  letter it said there were abnormalities in the womb lining and a cyst on her left Ovary but when she went for the scan they  also had to look at the right one . I am just worried because she had a liver scan and it took them  4 months to get back in touch and  then they sent her for  a ct scan last week and now this ultrasound .

  • Hello Stark89, 

    It sounds like it is a worrying time for you and your mum at the moment as you are waiting to find out more. It's good that they have been thorough and that when she went for the scan they also had a look at the right ovary. I am sorry that you had to wait four months for results from a liver scan before - that is certainly a long time to have had to wait but it is unlikely this will happen this time. Results from CT scans and ultrasounds normally take 1-2 weeks to come through so hopefully you will get some clarity on all this very soon. 

    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 for your mum,

    Best wishes,

  • I had ovarian cysts the ultrasound showed that they were still there and they had not shrunk. They told me that at the scan. That was followed by a MRI scan. My consultant rang a couple of weeks later and confirmed that they were going to remove my overies. Gynaecology seems really organised and the gynaecology secretary was really helpful when I needed to know what the  time frame was for my surgery she asked the surgeon and rang me back. I had new meds and didn't know if l should take it prior to surgery. My outcome was benign l hope you have a similar experience.
