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

  • I am in the same situation as you. I went for CA125 blood tests twice and both came back positive now have been called for an urgent appointment with gynaecologist. I have failed to rest since then, have cried and can't cry no more as am sure I have ovarian cancer and am only 33.

    Wish i could tell you the right words of encouragement but I do t have them. At the moment am praying to God that cancer hasn't spread too far. Just pray if you believe in anything.

  • Hi all I’m going the exact same :( 

    i am new on here & just looking for a little bit of advice..

    i am 28 & been having my cervical smears since 2015 

    the first one that year came back as low grade changes I was sent to the coloscopy clinic were they took a sample of my cervix & then put me on yearly smear tests... 

    my 2016 swab came back with the same results & again had the biopsy & was told again to follow up in a year..

    so 2017 I received again the same results & again had to attend the coloscopy clinic. But I then found out I was pregnant so obviously could not attend the biopsy appointment.

    i gave birth to my little girl in June 2018 & since October time I have been bleeding between my period & also after intercourse... I have a lot of abdominal twinges & lower back pain on & off & also sharp pain now & then around the spleen area.... & my discharge has also been very watery but then can suddenly turn to pinky/red! The smell is rancid like dead rotting flesh!!?? Could any one have any more info on this? 

    On the 9th of November I past a large amount of blood clots... so I’ve been to my GB on numerous occasions been fobbed off with water infections & bacterial infections even tho all my swabs have came back negative!? 

    But today November 2018 I received my smear results which have came back as high grade severe dyskaryosis!

    i am very worried in fact I’m making my self Ill to the point I haven’t gone to work & my eldest son as had to sleep at his fathers as I can’t let him see me in this state! 

    All my symptoms seem to be very matching with cervical cancer to start with & then receiving these results I’m in a right state! 

    Could I allready have the cancer? & I’ve also read symptoms like this don’t usually occur until the advanced stages which aren’t treatable!? 

    How can my tests go from low grade abnormal to severe high grade in the space of 1 year & 2 month? 

    In that length of time is it possible to develop cancer? 

    I would really appreciate some advice from people who are going through or who have allready been through this night mare.. 

    i cant stop crying thinking the worst & thinking my kids might be with out a man my daughter is only 6 month I am deverstated by the results & symptoms I’m having..

    just any advice would be great x

    Just an update 

    I had my gynae appointment yesterday and firstly she was horrified that I had been told I was referred for  “suspected gynaecological cancer”. She said the word cancer shouldn’t be used unless it’s actually been diagnosed.

    Anyway she took a few samples from my womb which is a little unpleasant but not horrific, to be sent away . She said everything looked fine and to stop worrying! Results back in a few weeks but she said she wasn’t at all concerned with what she saw. 

    Thank you for the replies I’ve had so far and I will update when results are in
