Hi 

Today I had my MRI for a toumor on my right ovary and the radiologist said to me after "I hope you get your treatment soon." which scared me as I don't have a diognosis yet. Does she mean it in a helpful and caring way or in a way that somthing is seriously wrong. 

I am already on the fast track cancer pathway at my closest hospital and have had blood tests for people who are high risk for getting cancer.

I'm so scared and don't know what to think. 

Any adviced and I would be so greatful.

Thanks

    Hi libby

    Just read your post..

    Thoughts are with you. I don't know what I'd read into what she said. A bit strange

    I have a ct scan this Saturday I'm beside myself with worry.. I've had to wait for 3 weeks I don't know if this is fast tracked (, probably not)

    Take care

    I'm in exactly the same situation, except the cyst is on my left ovary.  It was picked up during a transvaginal scan looking for something else on 10th May.  I've had blood tests, a hysteroscopy, a CT scan and an MRI on Saturday.  It has been fast tracked but the results aren't back from the MRI.  I had a call today to book an appointment for a consultation next Wednesday, I've been referred to the main hospital in my area which is a specialist centre.

    My blood results have been within normal range, including CA125 which is the one for ovarian cancer.  I've been told the reason for the transfer is because due to the size and concerning features of the cyst it will have to come out whole and that can't be done via keyhole.  I'm freaking out as I think they don't want to tell me I have cancer over the phone.

    Hi

    I had a ultrasound because they thought I has PCOS but it turned out I have a tumor. I had my blood test done last week and the the MRI today and no one has told me anything. 

    The most worrying thing for me is I have a lot of symptoms of ovarien Cancer and non of my carers in suppotied living (for mental health) seem to understand the severity of all of this. 

    I think they are just trying to help my anxiety but it's not really helping. 

    I persume my mass will have to be removed in one as it is (according to my ultrasound) 9cm wide. 

    The thing that concererns me is that I am only 19 and my family has a long history of cancer. 

    Please message me anytime and we can try to help eachother.
