Category 2 ovarian cyst? Possible ovarian cancer

Just wondering if anyone is going through the same.

I'm 34, have 4 kids, tubal litigation  2017, and on/off issues with heavy flow menstruation that eventually was resolved with medication to reduce thickness in endometrium and hysteroscopy for removal of polyps, mirena coil fitted same day to stop/lessen menstruation. 

Anyhow for several months now I've been suffering with severe heartburn, doesn't matter if I've ate or not, nausea after and sometime prior to eating.

Low right side ovary pains, intermittent and very sharp pains rather than a dull ache,

I'm getting up in the night to pee, and I have like a heaviness when I do like I haven't emptied my bladder.

Sex is sometimes painful during and always painful afterwords. I spot/bleeding lightly after each time too.

Had an ultrasound Wednesday and was told an abnormal mass was found category 2 cyst and they stated on report that it was an indeterminate lesion.

I'm scaring myself silly, as I've heard nothing other than they've referred me to an oncology gynaecologist and I'm to wait for an appointment. 

I haven't had any bloods yet, so not sure on ca125 markers but they've clearly seen something on the ultrasound but won't  tell me anything and are yet to confirm/deny ovarian cancer, so I don't know what to think?? 

Last pelvic ultrasound in Feb 2020 was normal and no cysts/masses were found to be present. 

  • Hi KateT2020,

    I'm sorry to hear you've been experiencing these issues. You've of course done the right thing in getting this checked out.

    It's hard to advise on the issue itself, only to say to try to take things a day at a time while you wait to hear more. Keep yourself busy and distracted if you can, to help keep your mind off your worries.

    You can make a list of amy questions you have so that you are ready to talk everything through at your next appointment.

    I hope it's not too long to wait and that you find out more soon.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
