Large Cyst discovered 3 years after radical hysterectomy

I had a CT scan of my abdomen and pelvic region whilst in ASU with suspected pancreas disease (but all ok!) However, the surgeon told me I was being referred to gynea OP as a 5.7 I'm incidental cyst had shown up behind my bladder possibly grown on ovarian cells after everything was removed in 2019. I'm waiting on the results of the CT 125 blood test and appt with a gynecologist to see what's going on. I'm climbing the walls with worry both my maternal grandmother and mother had ovarian cancer my grandmother passing away soon after her diagnosis. Does anyone know what the likelihood of it being cancerous is. I'm. 59, menopause @ 43 y/o and total abdo hyst and bilateral oophorectomy due to abnormal cells and pv bleeding.

  • Hi MrsMattheseaside,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can understand your worries, especially with what you've been through, and I know this kind of uncertainty is never easy to deal with.

    I hope it's not too long to wait for the appointment with the specialist. It will be difficult for anyone here to advise on your question - the best thing will be to wait for any results and also to speak to the specialist. The waiting can be difficult so try to take things a day at a time and keep busy while you wait. If you feel you'd like to talk to someone in the meantime, you are welcome to give our nurses a call. You can reach them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

    Otherwise if others have similar experience to share then hopefully you'll get more replies here soon.

    Wishing you all the best,

  • Hi,

    I have a similar situation, i had a hysterectomy 11 years ago and last year a 9cm cyst was found in a scan after i had severe pain, i finally had surgery and they removed a 4cm simple cyst and i had post surgery complications so another scan was done which showed i had a 12cm peritoneal inclusion cyst due to my previous hysterectomy, i am being monitored by gynae oncology but i still have regular pain and on-going bowel issues.
