Sorry for the long post but I've kept everything in for a while now and I'm just looking to get it all off of my chest
At the beginning of august I started heavily passing really large blood clots, with a lot of pain - it crippled me to the point I couldn't walk, eat or do anything. I spent the next couple of weeks in and out of a&e/hospital - I was in a&e more times than I wasn't! I was given morphine a few times and I was admitted to hospital to deal with the pain, however nothing ever came of the visits and nothing ever helped with the pain and I was sent home still in pain every time. Eventually I saw somebody who arranged an outpatient ultrasound for me, however this was still 2 weeks away, I was still in crippling pain and due to go on holiday in a few weeks.
I had the ultrasound and was told they could see a cyst on my ovary - they described it as 'not small'. However this was all the information I was given and I was sent on my way again.
Fast forward to 2 weeks later and I still hadn't received an appointment to discuss the report from my ultrasound, so I phoned the hospital to chase this up. They told me that it was nothing to do with them and that it gets sent over to my GP. I phoned my GP, and they told me that they have not recueved any report. I then phoned the hospital back, and the person I spoke to told me that they couldn't even see an ultrasound on my notes so they didnt know what I was talking about. I was very frustrated by this point understandably. I phoned the hospital back the next day and the person that I spoke to told me that the sonographer who done my ultrasound was on annual leave, nobody else could do a report on it therefore I just had to wait for the results. It had been 5 weeks by this time.
I went on holiday for 2 weeks, spent half of the time in absolute agony because of the pain. When I got back from holiday, I has a letter from the hospital for an appointment. I went to the appointment and saw a gynaecologist. She hadn't looked over my notes, didnt have a clue why I has an appointment that day, and in the first half of the appointment she told me that my symptoms did not match any diagnosis. She then changed the subject to my weight - I'm quite a big girl I will add - she told me that because of my weight I have PCOS and that if I lose weight all of my problems will go away. None of my symptoms matched this diagnosis and I left the hospital feeling confused and completely humiliated. I have took what she said on board, and I have been walking more, eating healthier and i have started to lose weight.
Fast forward to yesterday, when I had a follow up ultrasound to check if the cyst is still present. It is very much still present. I spoke to the sonographer about what the gynaecologist had told me, and the sonographer laughed and told me that it is definitely not PCOS and that it is nothing to do with my weight. She told me that shes slightly concerned about the cyst and She has urgently referred me to have cancer blood test, and has written to my doctor to tell them that I need to be referred for further investigation immediately and I should hear from then within this week.
Obviously this has scared me slightly because I was under the impression that I had polycystic ovaries and that there was not a problem and losing weight would help - and now 2 months later I have been told that none of that is relevant and I'm now having to take a blood test to detect cancer and be referred urgently.
I appreciate the urgency because it's been a long time of no answers, however I'm terrified of what might happen
I dont know why I'm posting on here, and im sorry that it's long, I just dont want to stress my family or partner out with any of this but my head is in absolute overdrive
