Teratoma or dermoid

Just wondering if anyone has been in the same situation. I have had an mri scan the diagnosis was either a ovarian teratoma or dermoid. I have been put on the 2 week pathway of referral. Right now I'm so worried it will turn out to be malignant. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Hi Rainbow2208,
Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read about your worries and I hope you're getting on OK - I can imagine this is unsettling.
Some people say it helps to keep your mind off things and to keep as busy as possible while waiting for results.
If anyone here has similar experience then hopefully they'll be along soon.
Do use this forum as much as is helpful for any support at any point - it's a very welcoming and understanding community of people.
I hope it's not too much longer for you to wait to find out more.
Wishing you all the best,
Ben
