Ovarian mass and thickening of the womb

Hi, im new to this site and I'm worried sick.

I was diagnosed with a prolapsed bladder but when talking to my consultant and told her about the pain I'm in she sent me for a ultrasound and a transvaginal scan.

It showed up a solid mass measuring 2.5cm on my ovary and thickening of the lining of my womb.

She also sent me for a CA125 blood test.

This came back with no red markers I was told.

My periods are all over the place, I can bleed for 6 weeks then not have a period for 5 weeks bleed again for 27 days and no period for 3 months.

I am having a hysteroscopy and biopsy next Wednesday.

But as some do I googled and just because my ca125 came back ok I'm still so scared that I could have cancer.

Has anyone else had both a mass and thickening of the womb lining?

Sorry for the long post.

    Hello Gilly_81, 

    This is obviously a really worrying time for you and I hope that you will get some answers soon. It's good that they have been so thorough and sent you for all these tests. It's reassuring that the CA125 came back with no red markers and I hope that the hysteroscopy and biopsy next Wednesday will shed some light on what has been causing these issues. 

    It's normal to be tempted to do some googling but as everyone here will say Dr Google is not terribly reliable and tends to bring up worst case scenarios. So try not to pay attention to what Google says and it won't be long now until you get some answers. Keeping distracted and focused on other things may help as the wait for results can feel really long. 

    I thought I would also mention another member I welcomed this morning [@Chlot]‍ who although she hasn't been told she has a mass, also has a thickening of the womb and is waiting for results from her biopsy. It helps to talk to others who are going through a similar thing and who will understand how difficult this long wait for answers might be. 

    I hope everything goes well for you on Wednesday and that you find out more soon. 

    Best wishes,
