2 week urgent Gynaecology referral

Hey

i was sent for an ultrasound and also had a vaginal ultrasound. The lady said she couldn’t see anything untoward at the time but I’ve now had a phone call to say im being given this appointment for “suspected cancer”

im absolutely terrified.

im 51, started going thorough menopause in 2016. I originally contacted the doctor as this year in October I had a random period .ive  a few periods during my going through menopause.  I’ve had no pains anywhere or not felt unwell but I’m positive now I’ve got cancer. 

I’m driving myself crazy with worry.

any calming words appreciated 

Thank you for reading xx

    They told you the referral was made because of suspected cancer?

    Don’t know if thats the usual procedure but I find it a little bit wild to put people minds at so much stress since the appointment.

    Anyway, first of all stay away from Google since you will only find catastrophic answers that are not related with reality. Try to keep some calm, although I know in this moment you will find it very hard, and keep your mind busy with other stuff.

    Whatever it is, your medical team is behind you and they are already working to help you.

    Best of luck  ;)
