Complex ovarian cyst

Carrierbag
Offline

I've had an ultrasound which has picked up hundreds of fibroids and a complex cyst on my right ovary. My CA125 is 139.
Fast forward two weeks and I've seen a junior consultant, who wasn't concerned at all and basically told me there's nothing wrong with me, she would only be worried if I were 20 years older!! I'm 43..... she said they would monitor me every 3 months. Obviously I went out of the hospital in a daze feeling like I've wasted their time!!

 I was assigned a support worker from the gyny team at my local hospital once my doctor did a fast track referral and thank god she rang me!!

 The senior consultant requested an MRI which I have now had. My next appointment is next week. The waiting is affecting my every day routine and I can think of nothing but having cancer and leaving my 13 year old twins. I know it's not long to wait but I'm so scared.

    Hi I hope you don't mind me joining in.

     

    I had a full hysterectomy last year due to a massive fibriod. Was so ill afterwards and in and back out of hospital with complications and almost died with sepsis. 
     

    Now I had a cyst on my one remaining ovary and to say I've been sick with worry is an understatement.

    first scan it was 5.9cm.

     

    I was offered a follow up scan which I've recently had but now I am being sent to see the gynaecologist again and getting and MRI. 
     

    I am ill with worry about the thought of another operation but then I started to worry if it's something more suspicious! 
     

    I am 40, no history of ovarian cancer in the family but it's so worrying. 
     

    I have no idea why I need the MRI.
