2 week wait

Hi all 

I'm using this forum to get some support if possible, as I am feeling really anxious. 
I had an ultrasound two weeks ago of my pelvis area, this was due to me not bleeding on my HRT. Just a routine scan, however the sonoahtapher told me she found a "special" cyst on my left ovary and I need to speak with my doctor on Monday. On Monday my doctor returned my call to tell me I have a haemorric cyst and I need to go onto 2ww due to me supposedly being post menopausal (48). I called my doctor on the Tuesday as I had been slightly bleeding, no luck at getting an appointment told to go to A&E, I wasn't going to wait 8hrs to be told paracetamol and wait for appointment. I rang a private hospital and got in with a GYNE consultant in hope of some further advice. On seeing the consultant he said that he was questioning the report as he thinks it maybe a solid mass and not actually on the ovary, also said there was an area of fluid. He sent me for a CA125 which has returned yesterday at 13, however two years ago it was 6 when I had to have a breast biopsy. I have to have an MRI which I'm fine until they inject me I then panic and move... I'm seeing my 2ww consultant on Monday where he will refer for urgent MRI. 

I'm just feeling so scared at the moment, and alone with my thoughts, I've read all the stories I shouldn't, and have now got myself into such a negative state... 

Has anyone else been through this situation with over filling your mind and planning the worst scenario... 

Thank you for listening  x

  • Hello Ellen26, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your MRI scan. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. 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 as Dr Google is famously unreliable and tends to always bring the worst case scenario. 

    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,
