Ovarian cyst

Hey, just looking for advice. Went for a USS last week as been having abdominal bloating. A cyst was found on my ovary. The Lady who carrried out the ultrasound said I need to be seen urgently and the next day my GP called to say I have been referred on the cancer pathway to see a Gynaecologist Oncologist for further investigations. I have had a cyst before but I was just scanned 3 months later and it had gone. Just wondering if something of concern was seen this time hence the referral? As nothing like this happened before.

  • Hi there, I've had a few. Most have been straightforward but have found two now. One is ok and one they couldn't tell from us what it is so MRI. Also had womb biopsy as found growth there. It sounds like you might have further tests like me. I've not seen specialist first, just tests organised so guessing they want to collate everything.

    It sounds similar in that they need to refer on. Fingers crossed for you. 

     

  • Thank you for the reply, that's very helpful. I hope you are all sorted soon

  • You may have a complex solid cyst l had complex cysts  last year they seem to need further tests like MRI  or  Ct.   I also had a trans vaginal ultrasound before my surgery. The results were benign l hope you have the same outcome.

  • Thank you for the reply. Hopefully it won't be too long before so am seen. Glad your results were benign. 
     

    Take care

  • Thank you.

    Mine is going to an MDT meeting next Tuesday. I'll know then. 
     

    Have you had any further update? 
     

    Hope you're ok.

  • Not heard anything as yet. Getting very anxious.   Hopefully it won't be too much longer. I'm 1 week in from 2ww so thought I would have heard by now. Hope everything is ok for you. 

     

    Take care 

  • If it helps my next step (womb biopsy) was on my 14th day of the 2ww. My MRI though had been forgotten and I had to chase. That's put me back as it needed a new request from the dr on a separate 2ww. That's been done on a week and a half into the second 2ww. So there is still time. 
     

    I understand about the stress. I'm now 3 1/2 weeks into it because of the MRI delay. Now another week to go for the MDT meeting. It's awful. I'm trying to keep busy but my mind keeps going back. The only thing I think is good is they said they would ring me Tuesday afternoon and I assume they wouldn't give bad news over the phone.

    Stay strong. I've had a number of cysts and honestly all benign so I'm thinking this is the same but is presenting as a complex mass. Here if you want to chat. 

  • It's ridiculous. I chased my appointment today. My referral had been sat on the consultants desk for 1 week!! I have been given a date now of the 22nd June. If I hadn't chased it would have been later. 
     

    im so sorry you have to wait again. It's all we seem to do. 
     

    I will be thinking of you. Keep me posted. Fingers crossed for the both of us. 
     

     

  • Good you called. That's still seems a long time for you. 
    Yes, it's really difficult isn't it? I'm keeping busy in the day but I'm finding it's at night I'm waking up and overthinking.  It seems like it's just a waiting game. 
     

    I wonder if you will see the consultant and then get your answer or need more scans. I hope it's straight forward for you.  I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too.

    I don't know what time they will call me Tuesday. They just said afternoon but I won't be moving from the phone. I think we both deserve cake!
