Worrying Ultrasound

Went for a transvaginal ultrasound on Friday.... didn't go so well. It was only meant to be checking my fertility as I have pcos and my periods are far and few between. So after the very long scan the technician tells me my ovaries are fine and then drops the bomb that my fallopian tubes are filled with what looks like fluid, if i experienceany sever pain nausea etc to go to a&e. I think oh okay she tells me I'll receive my results via my gp. 

Monday so only 3 days later I received a call from my gp who tells me I have growths inside my womb. And that they can't rule out cancer from the scans. His exact words. And he would be putting me on a rapid referral for immediate tests. 

I'm terrified. I keep thinking the worst. I don't know what to do with myself I just wait for the letters to come every day. It feels so pathetic  

  • Hello Aelrahc and a warm welcome to Cancer Chat, 

    I can imagine it was a bit frightening to be told you have growths inside the womb and that they can't rule out cancer from the scans. It's normal to be terrified and to be thinking about the worst and to feel like you are left in limbo waiting for the letters to come through every day. All you can do for now is wait which is the hardest thing. But try not to anticipate the worst as there are so many things it could be other than cancer. 

    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. There are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    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. 

    Best wishes,
