Advice/support/experiences please-ovarian cysts?
Posted , 12 users are following.
I have cysts on both sides. left hand side about 11cm, right hand side 10cm.
I am being sent for an "urgent" MRI in 7 days. Rather worried how I will stay still for a whole hour all by myself in the MRI? Any tips please?
Then I go back to the consultant the week after to see if they are cysts or cancerous and how we will treat them.
I am having dizzy spells where I feel that the world is turning to the right. Constant back pain that feels like something is pressing on my back which makes me feel like I need to go poo.. Gassiness. I can feel the cysts as painful lumps from the front too. My stomach is hard and stretched.
I'm feeling very tired from the discomfort and worry.
My appetite is still pretty normal.
Sex is a little painful in certain positions as my tummy is tender and I can't fold up my body properly. I'm not able to move as easily.
They have been "watching" the cysts for 2 years now and have seen them grow from 5cm to 7cm to 11cm. Only now are they doing something about it.
My Ca125 test was 31 six months ago, it is now 37.
I'm very anxious and on edge.
I have no idea what the 'cysts' are made of though my last report said they have a "mild vascularity".
Also, I am diabetic and I have PCOS.
Any advice or support ladies? I need it to get through this uncertain time.

Last time when I had the first Dermoid my husband hounded the docs/Oncologist.I don't know if it got me seen quicker but I know they were sick of him ringing them,and he's not a pushy man at all!!
I don't see why you're being left so long and haven't been given much information.
Hope you're ok x

I had to work today but my mind isn't with it. I haven't eaten anything just sipped some water. Maybe it's just the upset of yesterday.

Part of the problem with the NHS I guess is the lack of being able to talk to someone in the know who could just easily sort out things like this and do things more efficiently.
