Hi everyone

Would a ct scan with the dye test show cancer as I have had that and they weren't concerned maybe a bit of hope

    Hi Louise, I had a CT scan with contrast in April - it showed my ovarian cyst.  It is not certain, but they can usually tell if they think it could be cancer.  So that is very hopeful for you.  I had to have the scan repeated a few weeks later, to see if the cyst had grown.  That usually gives them an indication if it needs to be removed.  They can only diagnose for certain though when the cyst is removed and then analysed, which can take a week or two, so more waiting.
