Ovarian Growth

Hi

Feel like a complete fake writing this after reading all these post but here goes. I have had bowel problems, bloating , aches etc and finally had an ultrasound on my stomach and "bits". The next morning I got a call from the docs to say that there was some sort of a cyst the size of a golf ball on one of my ovaries. He can't tell too much as it's unclear but that he had already referred me to a gynaecologist, the nurse rang even as I was on the phone to the docs to arrange a blood test ASAP, the day after. 
now it's a waiting game, my mind is whirring, I am over 50 and in menopause. Hubby isn't sleeping and I'm trying to stay all positive. I know I am over reacting but....

  • Hi, 

    You're not over-reacting at all - it's a worry when you don't know what's going on. In one way it's good that things are happening quickly, in another way that causes more anxiety because you wonder why they're doing everything so quickly! Once you see gynaecology you'll know more - and with the blood test. I'm not going to say don't worry because that's impossible. But know that on here you can share any worries and you're not alone x
