Hello!

I posted on here a week or so ago. I had a 20cm ovarian cyst removed 2 weeks ago along with my left ovary, fallopian tube and my appendix (which they said looked inflamed). They said there could be a chance it is cancer due to the appearence of the cyst and elevated CA125 levels. So I've been anxiously waiting for my results. Last night, I found a sizeable hard lump in the left side of my lower abdomen which caused me a bit of alarm when I discovered it. I don't know how long it's been there as I had a lot of lumps in my abdomen which belonged to the cyst. I have also continued to have a very unpleasant spasmy pain in my stomach which was present before the op and has continued after. I also remember that in February I was getting blood in my stool for a few weeks. I didn't go to the GP because on the NHS website it said to only go if it persists beyond 3 weeks.

I decided to give my GP a ring today to tell him about my worries (the lump and continuing pain). The GP said he had received a letter today with the results from the lab regarding the cyst they removed. They said it is a borderline ovarian tumour which is good news as usually once they have been surgically removed, no further treatment is necessary. However, they have said I need to get an urgent colonoscopy. Now I'm feeling a bit worried as obviously I've still got this lump and the pain. Also during my hospital stay, the doctors asked me over and over again about my bowels which I thought was a bit strange. I had completely forgotten about the blood in my poo thing so I didn't even mention it.

Obviously I just need to wait until the colonoscopy to find out more, just wondering if anyone else has had this experience? Has anyone else had to get a colonscopy after this type of surgery? Can I borderline ovarian tumour spread to the bowel? I'm now no longer worrying about ovarian cancer but now I'm scared I've got bowel cancer.
