Septated ovarian cyst

 

hi i have never written on anything like this before but I am ill with worry.

Im almost 28!have no kids yet and went to see my GP in Jan due to irregular periods and facial hair. They were goong down PCOS route and my bloods came back and i had high levels of androgens/testosterone. I had a pelvic ultrasound other week where they ended up doing an internal too.

Got a call from my GP to come in and they have told me i have a complicated complex cyst  approx 5.4cmx3.4cm with multiple septation thickness of 7mm. I went in today and got my tumor markers done and will find out Friday hopefully. I have had an urgen referral to gynaecology and a CT of chest and abdo was also discussed. I can’t stop crying thinking worst and i feel ill. I have no idea what to think or do. Does anyone have any advice i would appreciate it. Thanks, Emma

  • Hi Emma,

    Im so sorry to hear you’re having such a s**tty time! I’ve had a similar ride the Last few days, my complex “cyst”

    is over 30cm filling pubis to breast bone (I am wearing maternity jeans lol) and I’m having a pelvic, abdominal and chest CT on Friday morning to see what it is and they’re discussing me at a multidisciplinary meeting tomorrow but I genuinely I think the most important thing is not to panic (which I know is so hard). It’s ok to be angry or worried or scared, I know i am letting myself feel whatever I need to...

    i really do hope that you get an all clear - but feel free to keep in touch xx 

  • That sounds awful i can only imagine how you feel. I don’t even know what to say as i don’t know what to tell myself. I just keep thinking the worst and that it will be malignant. I cannot stop crying and haven’t told my mum or dad as i don’t want to worry them. After almost 10 years me and partner got enaged and we are right in middle of wedding viewings and i cant face to go as i don’t know if ill ever see my wedding. 

    I just don’t know what my chances are and then the added worry of children on top of it all. It just feels like the longest wait ever! Im dreading Friday to hear these results! Xx

  • Oh sweetie, I can’t imagine how worried you are :-( I agree that one drags it’s sorry bum as slow as it dare but you’ll get there x

    I have an 11 year old and I think on that part, I’m ok with her being my one and only but, you know, medicine is great these days and there are so many options and the worst is so far away and I hope you can find a little confidence in that (come on, if I can then anyone can lol)

    I would say tell your close family, only my fiancé, my mum and my boss (she’s like a mum figure) know because it’s a massive relief and it does help - my daughter understands that I’ll have to have an op but that’s as far as I won’t let my mind wonder because I’ve got stuff to do and life to love and live 

    just remeber that as awful as doctor google makes it sound, the odds are in our favour sweet xx

  • Hello, Emmat12345.

    Can I ask what the outcome of all this is for you and how are you.

    My daughter is going through a troubled time at the moment.

    Hope you're ok

    Xxxx
