Worrying myself sick

I am so scared and would really love to hear from others who have been through similar situations, I have had acid reflux and constipation for the last 3-4 months, I don't know if I have bloating or just weight gain as I never really get that bloated feeling, I was sent for ultrasound as my periods have been all over the place! And they found a 4.5cm functional cyst with a small daughter cyst inside it, they said it looks begnin and CA125 results were normal. 

the doctors don't seem concerned at all but I just have this feeling something isn't right. I have no idea wether it's just health anxiety or something malicious. 

fed up off living in a constant state of fear I have a 1 and a half year old son I'm a single parent I'm petrified of something happening to me and him being alone.

follow up scan in 6 weeks and it feels like it will never end. 

  • I'm sorry about the cyst that's been found and for the worry this is causing worriedmum.

    I know it's difficult but when you find your worries getting the better of you try and remind yourself of what you were told and the good results that you've had so far.

    The next 6 weeks will be tough but I hope it helps to know you're not alone as many of our members will understand what you're going through and hopefully you'll receive some support and advice from them soon.

    In the meantime, I hope this article on how to cope with waiting for news will help you through this anxious time. 

    Kind regards,
