Hi 

I think everything you say is normal. I am 50 and have no symptoms.

Two weeks ago I went for an ultrasound and blood test. I have an 11 cm growth on my ovary. No idea what it is and this is taking me to some horrid places in my thoughts. it's the not knowing that is hard. you don't know if you need to be worried or not.

Its all a bit of a shock I went for MRI yesterday but couldn't get in the tube I feel like I'm letting my family down - my husbands struggling trying to be brave but it's really hard. 

I think what I'm trying to say is you are not alone. I think its normal to go to those dark places in your mind but don't stay there for long - I'm trying to stay in the present because that's all we have. 

Hello

Dont think that you are letting your family down, you're not at all. Everyone panics, that's a very normal reaction. I have a friend who I am texting (blkoming pandemic), I'm trying to be the usual me so joking and keeping it lighthearted- distracts me and also I'm concentrating on being in a "normal" zone. 
lots of luck to you, keep strong and it seems like we have a lovely group here to offload to if we need to vent xxxx

thank you so so much for the reply. Much appreciated 

So I finally had my MRI. Very stressful but done now have my appointment tomorrow with my consaultant - just staying focused on being present and positive. 

Hope you are doing ok. 

Hope your ok! 

From what I have read this is very common to not know before operation. 

Hope you are doing as well as you can while waiting for your operation. 

Stay positive if you can 

How are you all doing?? 
I have my consultant appointment tomorrow and really scared! Had MRI today and hoping she'll have the results tomorrow. I'm fearing the worst...

Just waiting for the days to tick off operation 23rd Nov 

pre op 17th

Will be holding thumbs for you!

xx

The day will soon be here. 

Hope the waiting has not been too bad and surgery goes well. 

Take care stay positive.  

So pleased to hear that people are still getting operations and treatment they need. It might be just me but I am getting a little anxious as the covid in patients rise to what operations will take place. This might just be a local thing as well. 

I've had a bit of a rollercoaster since October and my diagnosis has taken a little bit longer than necessary. 

I've really struggled with MRI and just had a CT scan the lowest point was being told that my blood test was lost and had been destroyed. Back to the consultant for next week. 

I'm also confused about the different types of hysterectomy and what I will need. Doing my appointments on the phone is good but also makes me feel slightly anxious. 

Hope everyone is doing ok and I continue to positive at this time 

Hope the operation has gone well and you are beginning to recover in these early days post surgery. 

I have my operation booked for the 13th of January its a bit of a wait! 

However, my blood test cancer markers came back in normal range apart for my CA125 which was slightly raised. They are going to test my lump while I'm being operated on and do what is needed then. 

Like so many others it's the not knowing and uncertainties that cause the most anxiety!

I have some positive friends that keep me going which is great. 

I have my pre-op on the 14th of December. 

Take care everyone

Operation done. Very grim whole thing.
