i had my gynecology appoinment yesterday.
They are operating which I already knew before hand that was going to be the case but wasn't sure of how they were going to do it.
My CT scan shows the same as my ultra sound did but it's 11cms in CT scan. I said to him about it being 9cms on ultra sound and he explained thats because when they do
Ultra sound they push down which doesn't measure it well.
He is taking my case to the cancer specialist at a diffrent hosiptail just to get them to double checked all scans and results as the CT scan shows a solid part to the cyst but the surgeon guy who I saw yesterday has said he believes that is most likely my ovary so the solid part he thinks On scan is my ovary. But wants to get it double double checked which I understand but that has caused me to worry now.
After he said about another hospital looking at it all I asked him 'are we looking at it being cancerous or a simple cyst?' And he has said everything so far is reassureing and he said that if a family member was me and in my situation with my blood results and scan results that he would be really reassured with it all so far which that comment did really help me a lot yesterday.
I had to have another blood test part of tumor markers but he said for that to be raised my other tumor markers would be raised to if that makes sense??
He has said ideally he wanted to do keyhole just to take cyst but has said he might have to do open surgery to take cyst and my ovary... why would he need to take ovary??
He will ring me in the next 7-10 days to let me know how they will do the op as calling me is quicker than writing a letter.
My op is booked for 26th Feb.
I'm really worried about this solid part.
What do people think? Has anyone had this before when they got cancer specialist to look and or the solid part has been there ovary??
I have been through this myself with scan after scan watching and waiting and then a MRI scan,they were very very concerned about my solid parts in my cyst and also mural nodules(another sinister symptom)i had no blood supply to cyst which was very reassuring they told me.after no change to cyst after 3 scans and 6 months they still wasn't sure so sent me for an MRI followed two days later with an appt with a gun/oncologist whc He cared me to death to the point I couldn't function,I was a mess.
I went for my MRI on the Monday and my appt with oncologist was Wednesday I was convinced they thought it was ovarian cancer,to my utter relief he went through the MRI with me in the Wednesday and it was confirmed by it as an endometrioma !!!! So please please do not Worry,my cyst had all the worrying signs and I was also diagnosed with deep infiltrating endometriosis,
I hope
This has helped you and good luck you will be just fun I promise.take care Michelle xx
The surgeon has said everything is resureing so far and like I said he said if it was a family member in my situation that he would be resureed which made me feel better.
I'm just worried because they getting someone else to look at it. My op is booked for 26th anyway and ether way it will be open surgery or key hole.
I'm worried about this solid part but the guy who I saw yesterday said ts most likely my ovary which is the solid part.
But all my bloods are all normal and ct scan showed same as utrla sound. The guy who I saw didn't seem worried.
But i am worried but I think I'm over thinking it all.
The most important thing he said is when he said that if it was a family member of his he would be resured with results so far.

They also got an oncologist to look at mine,my ca 125 was normal too which is reassuring to them.you have nothing to worry about honest xx
Mine was mostly solid butall it was was an endometrioma cyst so stop worrying x
You really think I don't have anything to worry about?
Xx
I'm trying not to worry but it's so hard! I worry as he getting cancer specialist to have a look at scans ect
But my tumor markers are within normal range so that's all good right??
Do you think my solid part could be my ovary? My cyst is 11 cms.
The person who I saw yesterday seemed to think that the solid part is my ovary xx
Yes you have nothing to worry about as long said I had a cancer specialist look at me two days after an MRI and the solid part don't worry as I have a friend Also who had a solid part and that too Was an endometriomamy markers were normal like yours now stop worrying please xxxxx
Hi holly i saw gynaecologist in October she said I had a large cyst and ordered ct scan after she got results she said she wanted a second opinion with oncology and gave me cancer specialist nurse support I was terrified however after oncology looked at scan they were happy there was nothing sinister . I had a hysterectomy 19th january due to my age im 54 and had been bleeding a lot I will get results in nxt couple of weeks but was told it looked a large but simple cyst try not to worry, bloods and all being ok is a good sign they have to look at worse case scenario im sure you will be fine xx
Thanks I'll try not too worry xx
I'm only 23, bloods normal. The person who I saw Tuesday suspects the solid part to be my ovary.
But it's just the whole waiting.
I guess I have age on my side right?? Xx
I am sure you will be fine it is very worrying but bloods being good and your age are all good factors think positive xx
I know it’s scary but your not going to know what kind of cyst it is until they biopsy it during surgery and then sometimes the pathology takes 10 days to get a result. So I would try not to think about it. I know easier said then done. I just had my surgery Tuesday I’m still in the hospital hopefully I will go home today. He had to open me and said my cyst was hemorrhagic, I had adhesions from endometriosis. The hardest is all the rumbling from the gas. First night was very painful but a lot better today minus the gas. If your going to have open surgery make sure your doctor puts in an order for gas relief pills. They are so strict in the hospital that unless the dr orders it, they can not just give it to you. I had to wait all night and In to the morning for them to just give me a gas pill. They had trouble with me for bleeding, my body wouldn’t stop, But now they think I have Von Wildebrandes which your blood doesn’t clot.
Thank you so much! I
Think I'm worried as they getting cancer specialist just to double
Check everything x
They think mine is simple cyst from ultra sound and ct scan but I have a solid part which my surgeon believes it's my ovary.. our ovary are 2-3 cms and my cyst coming from my ovary cyst is 11cms.
All my bloods are fine including tumor markers but I am waiting for 1 more blood results to come back as my surgeon wanted a certain blood test on Tuesday when I saw him.
I am hoping they just take my cyst
But depending what cancer speclist say they might take my ovary... I'm wondering if they will take ovary just to be on the safe side. Xx
So because you’re young they will probably try to save the ovary and only remove the cyst, this way it doesn’t interfere with getting pregnant in The future. But if they do have to remove the cyst you still will have the other cyst for future children. Also when they took more blood the other day, could it have been for a type and screen?? Sometimes they need to check your blood type In case they need to give you blood during surgery. Most of the time they do it as a precaution but never end up giving you any. And like your doctor said he’s leaning that it’s going to be ok. Also anytime they take anything out of your body they have to biopsy it. And being that they are sending it for a second specialty lab should make you feel better that nothing is being missed
It's procedure let me know how you get on xx
I'm not sure about the other bloods but I just called my gp and the results are normal. I think they were to do with tumor markers.
They will do keyhole if they just do the cyst by popping cyst and then taking it out or they will do open surgery if they take cyst and ovary.
But by the sounds of it that if my ovary is proven to be the solid part on my ct scan then that says to me that the cyst is well attached to my ovary, does that make sense?
What do you think?
