Hi all

I am a pre-menoapusal 45 year old female who has been sufering from heavy and irregular bleeding over the last 6 months.  I have a strong family history of cancer: mum died of reast cancer agead 54 (diagnosed aged 46), maternal grandmother died of breast cancer aged 81 (diagnosed at 49), maternal aunt was diagnosed with ovarian cancer aged 44 and is still alive, my son was diagnosed with tesicular cancer last year (2025) aged 21.

I have seen a Gynaecologist via Bupa (covered by employer) and he ordered a pelvics and transvaginal ultrasound which took place today.  He said that he woudl likely call with the results an potentially start me on HRT as he didn't think there would be anything remarkable.

At the end of the scan I asked the radiologist if all was clear and he said 'there is a lot going on'.  He asked when I was seeing my gynaecologist again so I pressed him and he said that I have a number of what he believes are fibroids and my left fallopian tube is full of fluid and blocked and because of this he couldn't see my left ovary on the scan.  I forgot to ask about womb thickness as the GP who referred me had mentioned checks for womb cancer and tbh the radiologist didnt really want to say much just 'there's a lot going on' and he asked if I have had bloods tests or a recent CT or MRI scan, which I haven't.

I have emailed my gynaecologist now I am home advising him that my scan is complete and a brief of what the radiologist told me and I am now waiting on a call or appointment on any next steps, I assume once thereport is written and shared with him.

Obviously I am now worried about what has been found and also what is likely to come next.  To be honest I would just rather have a complete hysterectomy and get it all out given my age and family history but I'm not sure if I can just request that.

If anyone has any info on what may happen next and also any advice on what to ask or push for that woudl be great.

When my son was dianosed with testicular cancer last year, he had a number of ultrasunds and we were told it was an abscess.  The urologist even did an exploratory operation due to suspected testicular torsion causing swelling and again we were reassured it was an infection.  Fast forward a couple of months and when we returned for a third scan they detrmined it was cancer and by then he had LVI (lymphovascular invasion) requiring high dose BEP chemotherapy. It also came to ligh that during the exploratory operation they had sewn the tumour to his scrotal skin which meant he couldn't have a prosthetic fitted.  Given this I want to ensure I am belt and braces in what I ask for so any advice would be really helpful.

Thaks so much in advance :-)
