Hello,
a few weeks ago I had a spinal MRI from an old horse riding injury, my leg had been slightly weak. Consultant physio called me yesterday and spoke at length about how my spine was very healthy…however there had been an incidental finding on MRI and was referring me to gynaecology. Straight away I was terrified. I am a single parent and this was so unexpected, I had a thousand questions but she couldn’t answer any being a physio. She did however tell me this finding was also present on my 2020 MRI….i was never told then.
fast forward I call the GP in between panicking and crying, GP said it’s a fat containing mass in my ovary area Is what the report says. The report does not even say which side or size or any comparison to when it was seen before. Nothing.
that’s all I have to go on. The GP didn’t know how to read an MRI and just kept telling me not to panic and wait for my referral which is as long as a piece of string. She kept saying like “well at least if it is something, you have found it”
I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I’m having constant bout of crying an panicking and no one to speak to, it’s Saturday and GP said I could call her next Friday.
I had CA125 bloods done in August as I have been having terrible upper stomach pain and they were clear. Turns out I had h pylori and they think stomach ulcer.
What could this be? How do we all get through these weeks of waiting? I feel like I can’t stop having panic attacks, I don’t know how to work and look after my son this week.
terrified. I am 38 years old. Awful family history of cervical cancer but not of ovarian. Premenopausal.
thank you.
