Hi, I am 24. I have been having some pressure pain in my lower abdomen and side and also some heaviness and bloating in my stomach, as well as pain when going to the toilet.
I went to my GP and she could feel something in my abdomen and referred me for an urgent ultrasound and CA125 test. My blood test was normal apparently. When I had the ultrasound the sonographer said there was a 7cm cyst but she couldn't tell which ovary it was coming from because it appeared to be from the left ovary but sat towards the right. She even showed me it on the screen and it just looked like a jelly bean, I know she can't tell me much but I asked how they can tell if it's a tumour or not and she said they look different.
anyway yesterday the GP rang me and said I need further tests, I am now awaiting an MRI and appointment with gynaecology (she said she's done 2 week urgent). I was a bit shocked as I thought it was just a cyst but she said there was a 7cm "mass" on my ovary and they need to take a closer look.
I am such a worrier and can't help but think the worst. I've had cysts before and extensive family history of endometriosis but they've never taken it this far and I can't help but think they must think it's cancer. Does anyone else have a similar experience? I know I'm bound to feel like this but it would be good to know whether there are other possibilities as to why they've referred me other than just ovarian cancer.
