Hello all. I am hoping to get some guidance or experiences of those who have been diagnosed with a cyst to later discover it was ovarian cancer.
I shall try and keep this brief but yesterday I attended
my ultrasound scan after being referred by my doctor after I have been experiencing over the last couple of months symptoms of ovarian cancer or Endometriosis. I have been extremely fatigued, constipated, painful abdomen, irregular bleeding (I am on the implant contraception and do not have periods) and pain during and after sex. The results of my scan were a 3cm x 3cm hemorrhagic cyst which the sonographer said "it looked as though it's bled into itself" and an enlarged uterus. She has recommended that I am scanned again in 6 weeks time.
The doctor has spoken with my since and has said I could have endometriosis, or 'something else'. I asked for a CA125 blood test which she has agreed to and has booked me back in for my future scan in 6 weeks time.
After doing my own research I'm concerned that the cyst has been wrongly diagnosed given all of my symptoms and the fact I am on birth control and have never experienced cysts before.
I am not sure whether I am over thinking things but I wanted to hear from other people who may have had a hemorrhagic cyst that was infact ovarian cancer.
My doctor has not explicitly said that it isn't ovarian cancer but I feel that as I am young (27 with 2 children) they won't suspect it to be. However, I feel I know my body and something definitely isn't right.
thank you in advance to anyone that replies :)
