Could I have ovarian cancer?

I've been to the doctors today and been told an xray on my hip showed a mass in the area of my right ovary. I have an ultrasound booked but not for 2 weeks and I'm worried. I'm also suffering with b12 deficiency, folic acid is low and am anaemic. I have to go for more blood tests in 2 days although he didn't say what they were for. 

I've had quite a lot of problems in this area over the years, 3 ectopic pregnancies resulting in no fallopian tubes for the last 20 years. I had around 6 months of constant menstruating and have been on prostap injection for 6 months now, so now I'm worried that symptoms which started over a year ago were all pointing to cancer all along and its just been put down to going into menopause. 

I'm sorry for such a long post

Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer 

  • Hello pollypb23 and welcome to our forum, 

    Wishing you the best of luck for your ultrasound and the blood tests. 2 weeks can seem like a long time to wait but it won't be too long now before you get some definite answers. If you can try and keep busy and distracted at the moment it will help you focus on the moment and pass the time before these important tests. 

    Poor you it sounds like you have had to deal with so many issues in this area and I am so sorry about the three ectopic pregnancies. I hope you will soon find the cause of all these symptoms but try not to anticipate yet what they might all mean as there could be so many other possible explanations. 

    We are keeping everything tightly crossed for you! 

    Best wishes,
