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 wanting a little bit of advice. I have recently past few months been getting issues with my periods which have been spotting and irregular. . I had blood test done and they show I have PCOS. I've been getting alot of the symptoms for this. So I have been referred for a ultrasound. Which I attended yesterday. So I'm there and he's doing the ultrasound taking a few pictures of my lower stomach, and then he said he needs to do an internal ultrasound whilst I was there. So I said is this because you have seen something? And he replied yes, and he will tell me afterwards. So I'm there having the internal one and all seems abit awkward and quiet. Took a while as he was taking lots of images. So, then he asks me if I've ever had surgery before? And I reply no, so then my mind starts to go on over drive by this point thinking what the hell is wrong with me! He then finished, but wouldn't tell me anything. I'm very worried now Incase there is more than PCOS. Does anyone have same experiences when being tested? Or is it just me?
