Suspected Ovarian Cancer

Hi, not sure if i am in the correct place but I am 22 and I was referred a month ago due to a mass being found on my ovary. At first they said they think it may be an endometrioma but referred me for suspected cancer which i beleive would be ovarian cancer. The consultants face seemed worried last time he saw me and i've had swabs, bloods, ultrasounds and I had an MRI yesterday. I am very nervous for the results as he seemed worried. The radiologist said it should be about a week till i get my results, i may possibly get them at my pre op appointment on monday but my question is, will an MRI diagnose me? I have seen conflicting statements to say that it doesn't and some say they can and have high accuracy. I was referred a month ago today and it is driving me crazy not knowing what is happening and whether or not I have cancer. I am aware that i am young and the stats are low but that doens't rule it out and that just makes me feel dismissed when people say I am young i will be fine...

  • I am post menopausal so my overies at no longer useful although I shouldn't have cysts at my age hence the excision. If they can just the cyst wil be removed saving all of the overies  that they can, they will still function normally. I'm hoping they can remove my overies laparoscopically but they think l probably have adhesions due to previous hysterectomy and Caesarean section fingers crossed.

  • I rang up to found out my MRI results and I have been lucky and advised that I have an endometrioma, although I hear they're bad enough to stop the function of the ovary, it's also meant to be a late stage which I didn't know endometriosis even had stages, I've also heard it makes me higher risk to ovarian cancer in the future so I'll still have to keep an eye on myself. I am going to be doing some fundraisers for Macmillan as I want to help, it was horrible just thinking I had it and I want to help people that do get diagnosed with cancer. :( I hope it goes well for all of you.
