Feeling a bit frightened now

Hi, Been a difficult 18 months with intermittent symptoms that are now worse and continuous and now I'm in the waiting game. Long story, and likely all of which has probably already been posted on here far more than I realise by others in similar boat. Was sent for an ultrasound on pelvis and kidneys today after doctor called last week saying my kidney function blood results were not as they should be. The sonographer did my pelvis area and kidneys but then also decided to do my lungs, heart, ribs and then re done my pelvis. Once she had done this she told me to empty my bladder and go back in to her to carry out a transvaginal scan. She did this but could not find one of my ovaries and also told me I would likely be told by my GP that I will need an MRI scan.  I asked if she could tell me if there was anything sinister or obvious but she told me she needed to go through it all and would send results to my GP in the next 2 days. I am also due to have my bloods repeated tomorrow for comparison to last weeks and my GP has also sent 2 urine samples for analysis last week. I have been " not right" for about 18months or so and gotten worse over that time.... I'm frightened now because it feels as though a lot of tests carried out in the last 2 weeks seems...... fast. If that makes sense? Anyway, I just needed to put my feelings down because I'm desperately trying not to carried away with " what if's"

 

if you've read or replied, thank you kindly.

  • Hi,

    what a worrying time for you. I completely understand why everything being done quickly is so frightening and worrying but I hope it helps in that you're not having to wait ages for things to happen. Similarly to you, I have had everything happen very quickly - although even a week seems like forever when you're waiting for results or information. I hope your MRI is booked quickly. Please let me know when you've heard from your GP.

    Message whenever you need to - I'm on day 1 of 14 days of isolation pre-surgery and already going stir crazy!
