Dermoid, fibroid, hair loss ... am I just unlucky?

Hi I'm terrified and my doctor is a jerk. I saw a PA just to refill an anxiety med and she made me feel like it was my fault I was anxious. Yet she dropped a bomb on me and read an ultrasound result my OBGYN had never called me back about (despite my calls to her office). She said my fibroid had grown to 12.9cm and that my dermoid that had been stable at around 5cm was now 7cm tho she did admit she might have read it wrong because the ultrasound was 5 by 4 by 7. But she was like oh that all has to come out and they'll prob take your ovary and that my OBGYN noted I should have gotten surgery a year ago when she first suggested. However I didn't because at the time other doctors said the dermoid wasn't a risk and that I was prob close to menopause and the fibroid would shrink. Also my OBYGN wanted open surgery and I'm alone with no other income and cannot take 6 to 8 weeks off work or live off disability. But today the PA made it sound like I could be in peri for way longer so I needed surgery asap but that I was crazy to be anxious like it was my fault. And she said there was nothing to do about the hair loss and that it doesn't happen to everyone. My sister and mother didn't have it so what? I also broke a crown and need an implant which is 4K I need. Am I just unlucky with everything? Why do I bother going on then? I also just found out the company I work for is running out of money. I have bad PTSD that has gotten worse in peri and after this news and no supportive doctor I just feel 10 times worse.

    Hi Sakura, offering a prayer for you right now. Also, not sure about your doctor but that PA is absolutely a jerk. That person has no business in the practice of medicine!!!

    Heavenly Father,

    Your child Sakura is suffering, and we come to you today with her and on her behalf.

    Sakura is your child... her body is hurting and her soul is afraid.

    Please come to her Lord with reassurance and comfort. Please open some doors and windows for her right now, as we pray, so she can see her path through these troubles and can feel her worth as your child... she is priceless, and she needs to know she's in your hands and it's all going to work.

    In the name of your Son,

    Amen
