My GP has sent off a request for an ultrasound for me for persistent mild pain in my lower right abdomen. I have had a large ovarian cyst removed about 9 years and I am wondering if it is a cyst again. But I'm worrying about ovarian cancer (even though I think it very unlikely).
Is there any rough idea of how long it will be for the scan?
I did ask the GP but it was a phone appointment, not a great line and I couldn't understand everything she said except the last word was "weeks" - but that could 2 weeks or 20 weeks.
I'm getting myself a bit worked up that it might be something that it most probably isn't.
As an aside I have colonoscopies every 2 years due to family history of bowel cancer which might (but not confirmed to be) Lynch Syndrome. I know in some lynch syndrome there's an increased risk of gynae cancers too.
