  • Hello

    Just writing to let you know that I am going through a similar experience at the minute. I had a pelvic mri  for a complex ovarian cyst on Tuesday through the NHS and I'm waiting on the results. I'm pretty terrified.

    I paid for a private gynae consultation the week before, as I hadn't seen a consultant yet.  I was initially referred red flag through the NHS but a different consultant paper triaged me and took me off red flag without even seeing me, saying that I needed a ca125 and pelvic mri first.

    The private gynae consultant last week said that the cyst doesn't 'scream out cancer' to her, so I am clinging to that and the fact that my ca125 is normal. I have had bowel issues for ages, but doctor keeps say it is IBS, as I was diagnosed with it in my twenties.

     

    Anyway, yeah, I know exactly how you feel. I keep going to dark places too and burst into tears. I feel very alone. 

    Take care.
