Evening all,
guess I’m just looking for reassurance.
went for smear test two weeks ago & happened to mention slight bloody mucous once. I started HRT & had mirena coil fitted in Aug 2023.
until this point my periods were regular & I was only referred to gynaecologist as I have suffered hormonal migraines since age of 18. I also had brain fog and sleep issues so they suggested HRT. I had to have coil fitted not progesterone tablets due to hormonal aspect.
i had full bloods done two weeks ago as part of a well woman check as I turned 50 - all normal and my smear is normal
had a bit of a shock when I was put on two week pathway, had an ultrasound last Tuesday & appointment with gynaecologist on Friday. She told me there is a 4.2cm cyst on my left ovary but it is complex as it has a 1.2 septation and a 6.7 thickening (all this left me so confused - also I was on my own so struggled to take it all in)
she did a biopsy there and then and did bloods for a CA125 I think.
sincefriday I have spent the entire weekend on an emotional rollercoaster and have now convinced myself I have ovarian cancer!!
looking back she did make some encouraging remarks such as no family history and the nurse said 99% of patients have nothing wrong with them but that’s not what google is telling me.
doesn’t help that as we remortgaged last month and changed our life insurance policies we decided to do a will and the first draft has just arrived in my inbox! Can’t help but think negatively about that.
I do have some bloating and pelvic pain but not sure if that was there before or due to the biopsy she took on Friday??
any words of wisdom re timescales/ outcomes would be much appreciated
booked in for an mri scan next week too
