Advice please! Ovarian cyst, irregular endometrium!

Hello,

im just after some advice. I've been having lady problems for quite some time and after a scan they have discovered I have a 34mm cyst on my left ovary and an irregular endometrium. Cancer runs in my family so as you can imagine I'm a bit nervous.

got a hospital appointment on the 16th July with gynaecology but the wait is killing me. 

any advice welcome how I stay sane while I wait!

thanks in advance. 

  • Hello siankathryn, 

    Waiting for results is often described here as the hardest thing and a few weeks can really feel like a lifetime. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for your hospital gynaecology appointment. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. Even if cancer runs in your family, try to put this at the back of your mind as it doesn't mean that you will also have a cancer diagnosis. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. There are also some great tips on this page on how to cope while waiting for results. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
