12 cm dermoid cyst could it be cancerous
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi
i have been ttc for 3.5 years to no success so i have been referred to the fertility clinic. Upon this referral i have been told i have a 12 cm dermoid on my right ovary and will need surgery to remove it (12 week waiting list) I may possibly lose the ovary and tube.
I am soooo worried because at the age 23 i was diagnosed with 1a1 cervical cancer (adenocarcinoma cancer of mucus glands)
I have now convinced myself that this cyst could be cancerous too.
I get a dull back ache, sharpe stomach pains , groin and thigh pain. I cant sleep and worry all day.
Has anybody been treated at St . Marys manchester ?
Thanx

Wow thats alot of staples, I hope everything's clear for you, your a strong women to walking walking around the pier just 1 week after your op.
I have had the all clear for 4 years now but the thought of it returning never really leaves you.
I am back at the hospital on Saturday so i am hoping i can get some reassurance and some questions answered.
Good luck with your recovery and keep us posted and your results xx

She told me it sounds like IBS and I need to see my GP. I then asked if she could check if my operation was scheduled?? To my utter shock she told me nothing was scheduled and the computer and my dermoid is 12mm not 12cm!!!!!
I told her that the doctor said I had a 12cm dermoid and needed it removed? that I could lose my ovary and would recv a letter in 8-12 weeks with an admission date??
She went to check my scan that I had 4 weeks ago at St mary's. She then returned to say that they don't have the scan (transvirginal) on the system!!!!
She told me she would check it out and call me in a couple of hours, 7 hours later and still nothing.
How is it soooo mixed up???

So i received a telephone call this morning at 8am telling me that my hand written notes do say 11cm and surgery is required. I asked the nurse if I could come and get another scan to actually clarify what size this dermoid is?
She agreed with me and said I can go in at 12 o'clock tomorrow.
Finally I will know what's going on ☺ xx
