Hi,
This is my first post here, although I have been getting some comfort from reading other's stories and hoping my one is just as positive.
I have had several scans over the last 6 months to monitor my ovarian cyst. My last scan was 5 days ago, on Saturday, and I could tell the sonographer saw something not good as he seemed quite concerned and told me I have a large ovarian cyst, that has just slightly grew from the last scan and this could be endometrioma. On Monday I received a call from GP to tell me I urgently need blood tests and have urgently referred to gynaecologist. The blood results came back within 24 hours and I received a phone call from my GP to tell me the blood tests were to measure cancer proteins in my blood and unfortunately my levels were 398, which are severely out of range. He has then told me they are suspecting cancer and I will be fast tracked to all appointments. My gynea referral is this Saturday, and I'm so scared. I'm only 35 and can't stop thinking of the worst case scenarios.
I have been trying to find online how quickly I will have an operation after my gynea referral to investigate internally if this is cancer? I wanted to go private but the GP advised me against this as if it is cancer I will most likely be referred back to NHS due to the costs involved. Im just worried it will take weeks for them to operate and me finding out the result and starting treatment.
Has anyone got any personal experience with how long they had to wait between each stage?
