Both ovaries enlarged

Hi,

I've been having abnormal vaginal bleeding since June last year, saw my GP who referred me for a scan, scan showed thickened endometrial lining and a 3.8cm cyst on my left ovary, 5.7cm on my right. Referred urgently to Gynae, seen on Tuesday and they did another scan which showed no thickening of the endometrium but she said both ovaries were enlarged. She referred me urgently for bloods and said she'll see me again in 6 weeks but will phone me if needed before. Wasn't too worried until I saw that all 6 of the bloods are checking for different ovarian cancer markers and now terrified she thinks it's Cancer, especially as it's taken so long for me to be seen. Doesn't help that my mum was diagnosed with cancer at 45 (I'm now 41) and she died at 53 from it

  • You too, keep in touch and if you ever need to talk I'm happy to

  • Hi Coldol80 and Imorrissey,

    How are you both getting on, have you had any results back yet? Hoping things are going ok for you. 

    Just heard back from my consultant after emailing her last week to ask about my blood results and they are all clear. Huge relief, especially as I ended up in A&E last week as one of my cysts burst. Worst pain I've ever experienced, but feel relieved it burst and didn't twist as that would have been so much worse. 

    Take care
