Private back to NHS

Hi.. so during an X-ray for something else doc found complex cyst on my ovary. Went private & consultant didn't seem that worried but recommended full hysterectomy & possible Omentum removal & said would have to refer to mdt as it was complex with intermediate risk of malignancy. Ca-125 was 36 and I'm pre menopause. In my head I'm still lower end of risk scale.

anyway mdt agreed on full hysterectomy but want Omentum removal too and asked for ct of lungs. This set alarms bells off but consultant says it's normal to check everything as they don't know how cysts react

does this mean it's confirmed cancerous?

  • Hello Karategirl

    I'm sorry to hear about the rollercoaster that you find yourself on at the moment. It's understandable that you're feeling worried about what may be going on with this complex cyst, the upcoming surgery, and why the team wants to arrange further tests. 

    We know that often Consultants request further tests and that this can cause anxiety and worry to the patient whilst they're waiting. It's important that the team has all the information they need so that they can be sure that whatever treatment they recommend is in your best interests. 

    Whilst you're waiting for these next steps I wonder if you might find it helpful to chat things through with one of our team of nurses? I'm sure they will be happy to offer any information, advice, and support that they can. If you'd like to speak with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that you don't have to wait too long for the additional CT Scan and that the results bring some reassurance. Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
