Urgent referral gynaecology

Hi, I'm 34 and have had issues with bloating, painful periods and almost entirely unable to be intimate with my husband due to pain.

I've been fighting to find out what's wrong and finally after 10 years my new gp (I moved area) said she 100% thinks its endometriosis. She referred me for an ultrasound which I had done last week.

The lady who did it when she got to my left ovary her expression changed and she spent ages taking measurements and pictures and told me my gp would be intouch.

Yesterday my gp called, she did the usual how you feeling etc, did they tell you anything during the scan. Then told me my left ovary is abnormal and very enlarged, she expressed deep concern and rushed me into the surgery to take bloods, like a full MOT of bloods. She said cancer is her biggest concern, the size, shape and texture of my abnormal ovary points to it.

I got a call 15 minutes after I spoke to the gp and it was urgent referral team confirming my details and said it would be passed to the consultant.

 

Has anyone else had this happen then be totally fine? Just panic from the gp. Right now I'm numb I guess, not really processing that information and my poor husband is an absolute mess over it.

  • Hi sorry you are going through all this worry.

    All I can say is that 'if' cancer is a possibility then it's normal to be sent on the 2 week urgent refferal.

    Another top tip is to NOT google anything... fills your head with horror.

    Try to keep busy for the next couple of weeks, take it one day at a time, you have the best team taking over now, looking after you, getting to the bottom of whatever is causing your symptoms.

    Try to be positive, ring the nurses on here for a chat.

    Let us know how you go, keeping my fingers crssed for good news xxxx
