5 weeks ago I had surgery to remove a 14cm complex cyst from my ovary (along with most of the ovary). They also took biopsies of the omentum and pelvic fluid. At the same time I had a hysteroscopy which identified and removed a polyp in the womb and also biopsies taken of thickened womb lining. Prior to surgery they hadn't been able to determine whether or not the cyst was cancerous as there were some suspicious features but also some that were more reassuring.
I have now had an appointment come through for Monday with gynaecology oncology, which I think is for getting the results of all the biopsies etc. I'm assuming (hoping!) that this is labelled as this simply because everything up until now has been linked in with that until cancer is ruled out. I am a bit worried though that I have been given a face-to-face appointment, rather than a phone call/letter which I wonder if it may have been had all been ok. (It seems almost a waste of an appointment at their end if it is simply to say everything is fine if that makes sense)
Am trying to be positive and not panic just yet. What I'd like help with though is some advice on what sort of things I should be asking at the appointment, particularly if it is bad news. I want to be prepared and have things written down as I think if it is cancer I may well not be thinking clearly enough to ask what I perhaps need to. Any advice or experiences would be much appreciated.
If it is cancerous, is it likely that the appointment will also discuss treatment etc, or would that be separate after the initial telling me appointment?
Thanks in advance x
