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

  • Hi ladies. I can relate, but it's kind of like the other way round for me. I've been having flair ups since late last year on isolated occasions, where I've had chronic indiestion for a couple of days, and constipation that was hard to pass, sickness, tiredness and it then turned into diarreah at end of flair up. I then went back to normal, but my last flair up nearly 2 months ago was 4 days, the longest I've had and I was bedridden. I've been put forward for a colonoscopy originally, but the dr decided to check my overy too due to middle tummy pain in the flair up which changed to the right hand side. I was tested for CA125, and little did I actually know about this test. Next thing I knew, my dr was telling me my blood tests are okay but my CA125 was abnormal, and she's referring me now to get a pelvic scan done, but she's also referring me to my gynocologist. Is this normal to refer me to a gynocologist so early on? I have lichens scheloris, so I already have a gyncologist, so the dr had sent my gynocologist a letter. The whole thing is really worrying me, I've only had an upper abdominal scan so far as I had suspected gallstones, but that came back fine. I do get pains on my top right hand side, chest and pelvic sometimes, so I just find it so hard to pin it down to a specific area.

  • Hi, I had same problem for years pain in side down legs and they were keep telling me it was Ibs. Until I couldn't stand it any longer and seen a doctor and he done c125 test and it come back abnormal and told I it could be cancer . If turned out I had a cyst on my ovarie ( left ) but getting pain in right side too ,I had operation and I was also cancer free . Keep pushing for answers 

     

  • I have been referred for a 2 week Gynae appt. It came through today for the 8th November. Apparently my cervix looks inflamed?? Absolutely bricking it as my husband died from bowel cancer 18 months ago. My babies can't watch the same thing happen to me, it was horrific!
