Back in March 2018 I found a small lump in my lower abdomen. Because I suffer from fibroids, polycyctic ovaries and endometreosis I was not overly concerned. But then I started to get a lot of pain and discomfort and a brown discharge. So I eventually plucked up the courage to visit my GP in July 2018. Blood tests showed elevated cancer markers, so I was rushed in for emergency Ultrasound. Finally in August my GP gave mt the all clear and said it "definitely" was not Cancer, but just large fibroids. He therefore referred me to a Gynaecologist for further treatment.
Because of a booking error by my GP, I only got an appointment with a consultant in January 2019. However, he had not been sent any reports or a copy of the ultrasound results. After further delays and errors, I eventually had to get hold of a copy of the ultrasound report myself and take it to my consultant in person in March. He was absolutely furious and embarassed! He had not been informed about the raised cancer markers. He consequently sent me for an urgent MRI and further blood tests over two weeks ago, but I am still waiting.
They still have not received any results. I am hoping that no news is good news, but this is not helping. My consultant has advised that I need to have a full hysterectomy anyway becuase the fibroids are so large. I have been so ill since February and the constant set backs and waiting is driving me crazy. I just need to sound off to someone!
