I am over 65 and bilateral ovarian cysts were removed last November, they were complex cysts so potentially cancerous they were found during a colonoscopy for left sided pain. After MRI, ultrasounds ect bloods l had surgery 8 weeks later. The left overy was difficult to locate and remove due to extensive adhesions due to previous surgery everything was stuck together, the oncology surgeon was used to difficult surgery and spent over 4 hours removing it all. 
Fortunately the biopsies were benign. 
Take care l hope you have a similar outcome

Thank you Susie. All the best,

My mum had her MRI and a contrast CT scan today for her chest, stomach and pelvis. They've said her gynacologist will receive the results in a few days or up to one week. Why would they scan other areas - I feel like they might know something but aren't telling us. No ca125 results yet - the blood test was done on Thursday last week so there is probably a delay due to the weekend.

Thanks

Hi I'm 67 ....post menopausal 

A 5 cm cyst was found accidentally on my left ovary 

during a MRI of my lower back as I'm having soo

much pain .

like your mum the pain is on my right side 

it's sharp I can hardly walk a times with it 

yet the cyst is on my left ......

I had a CA125 on Friday .. got the result today 

it was normal ...

I've not yet seen a gynaecologist... going privately on 

Monday to see him for transvaginal scan..

I hope your mum gets her blood results soon and the results are good abd 

I hope the surgery all goes well . I think 

they are doing all the scans for pre surgery assessment

Hi Rosie,

Thanks for your comment. It's moving to see how many people respond and just wanted to say thanks for taking the time, it's greatly appreciated.

Did you have any other symptoms aside from back pain if you don't mind me asking?

Just an FYI, we did my mums TV scan privately but then the NHS said they have to do it again... We did it in the hopes it sped up the process.

Hi 

Thank you ..

I don't know what a FY1. Is ? 

yes I have other symptoms 

Lower abdominal pain cramps 

dreadful Irritable symptoms honestly the pain

lots of flatuence , indigestion heaviness down below 

but I've got a posterior prolapse so that could be the reason. .

I had hysterectomy 24 yrs ago  

only my left ovary was left for menopause reasons 

That's why I don't understand such sharp groin pain in my 

right leg .. I can't stand or walk at times 

back pain is dreadful doing right down my leg to my foot 

that's why I had MRI 

these symptoms have been going on a long time 

no one ever mentioned Ovary symptoms 

but when. I researched  them I've got lost of them 

which is soo worrying 

I wasn't red flagged apparently I don't met Criteria 

but I feel I do ..

that is  why I'm paying for private consultant 

the worry stress is making everything worse .

Sorry, the FYI is 'For your info'.

I had a quick read online, there are definitely common symptoms between pelvic prolapse, cysts and cancer. There's no real way of knowing unless tests are carried out. I thought it was quite odd her pain was on the other side, the private Dr advised us she has a prolapsed uturus too which the NHS Dr didn't see in their ultrasound and apparantly that has similar symptoms. I've read a lot of cysts are benign but of course that doesn't help when we are all going through the same tests and wait. Wish you the best.
