Hi everyone I guess I'm just here for a little bit more information and maybe reassurance if possible.
I'm only 22 so I know the possibilities are much slimmer of there being anything sinister but this makes the doctors checking feel slightly more concerning. I've been having a list of problems basically starting with really irregular periods - lasting 20-35 days of heavy bleeding + then 30-90 days before getting a period again. Accompanied with lack of appetite, fullness after a few bites, bloating even when not eating, constant nausea, extreme fatigue, 15kg weight loss and some more issues
my doctors have initially checked all my hormone levels and looked for PCOS which all came back clear but my GP felt a lump when she did an internal examination so referred me for an US which I got within 2 weeks.
I had the scan on Friday and was contacted on the Monday to say they wanted to check CA125 and refer for an MRI as soon as possible as they've found complex cysts. I went for my blood test this afternoon so will wait for results from this to come back.
They've told me they try to get a gynaecologist appt within the 2 weeks if possible but I'm not sure how it actually works. Would I need to get my MRI first and then how quickly after the scan will the gynaecologist be able to tell me about the results and what their plan of action may be?
waiting to get the scan is one thing but of course it's another then having to wait for results and I'm not sure how quick the the turn around is.
I'm trying to be optimistic that if anything it is benign especially as I'm so young but my mother and both maternal aunts have had breast cancer and I have a number of symptoms I know are associated with OC so I feel this doesn't go well for me.
I'm not sure if you would get all of those symptoms with a benign cyst/tumour either.
Thank you if anyone can help me in any way I would be so appreciative of your time and kind words right now.
