Fibroid or cancer? All tests so far inconclusive

to cut a long story short I am being investigated to determine what a mass in my uterus is. I had an ultrasound which they believed to show a fibroid degenerating ( no symptoms of what I have read up on degenerating fibroids though), had a repeat ultrasound 3 months later which showed the mass actually had grown slightly and it wasn’t now clear cut it was a fibroid. This was referred to another consultant and an MRI booked with contrast. The results of this failed to determine what the mass was. I have been assigned to gynae oncology team and this was discussed at gynae MDT meeting where it was decided a CT scan may give a better picture, this was performed weds ( 2 days after the MDT). I am terrified I have cancer. In my mind if it was a simple fibroid they would have picked up on it by now surely?! And the words oncology, well they don’t just refer to oncology for nothing. I have been told Monday/Tuesday should have results ready as it’s all being rushed through asap. The waiting is killing me, I just want to know either way what this is inside me. The stress is awful I just randomly seem to burst into tears 8 don’t know if I’m being dramatic or not I just don’t know what to do with myself. I’m 38 and have 3 children and the thought of leaving them breaks me. 

  • It may well just be a fibroid, but I appreciate how the waiting is just so awful…I’ve just had a hysterectomy due to atypia hyperplasia being found in one polyp, precancerous cells but with a 40% chance of cancer still be diagnosed after hystetectomy…I’ve more waiting now, my problem, postmenopausal blended started (for the second time) in January this year so I’ve had wait after wait and still it continues…so I feel your pain and worry and hope your results come back as nothing to worry about x
