Signs all leading to cancer

I’ve been having number of issues from extremely heavy periods and pain, lower back pain, feeling tired, feeling full straight away and more. On top of recently losing weight without trying. 

Last week, I had a US Pelvis and Transabdominal/vaginal ultrasound scans. I was told to expect results within a week or so. 

However, I got a call next day saying GP wanted to see me urgently face to face. 

The day after I saw my GP and they explained that my right ovary is enlarged. It contains a heterogeneous lesion and appears to contain droppler flow within. I have free pelvic fluid and my endometrium is thickened way above what should be. I can’t really remember everything as I was in shock. She basically said there’s a number of things concerning, and could be ovarian cancer. 

My GP has put in a urgent request for Fast Track Cancer referral. She was lovely and explained I should get apt and been seen within 2 weeks given urgency.  She told me to prepare for many tests ahead.

I’m not sure how I feel. Obviously google doesn’t help as always gives the worst but honestly has anyone had anything similar? Should I prepare myself for worst case? If it’s not cancer what else could it be? 

Can anyone confirm process and potentially tests il be having? My gp mentioned CT scans etc but honestly the conversation is a blur right now

  • Tests ahead of you - I had a suspicous mass found during the ultrasounds and am at the stage where I have had further tests but still waiting to find out results and what happens next. Tests I had may be the same for you , I don't know if its the same tests each time. I had blood tests. Then an MRI scan - took about 30 mins, the scanner is a bit noisy and I needed a cannular to put the die in but it was painless. CT scans - I had one for chest/abdomen/pelvis and one for pancreas. Again a cannular for the contrast die, took about 10 mins altogether for the scans.  For both types of scan I was able to keep my own clothes on as they had no metal in them. Wishing you luck - I think at this stage the most difficult bit is the uncertainty/not knowing and the waiting. I hope all goes smoothly for you
