Worrying about Ovarian Cyst..
Posted , 5 users are following.
Went for an ultrasound scan recently and my report says that there is a large hetergeneous mixed solid-cystic mass arising from the pelvis which extends superiorly and occupying much of the abdomen and prolapse over the uterus. The mass measured by ultrasound is 18.0x20.1x10.1 cm. I am currently very worried that it may be ovarian cancer. There is no signifcant internal calcification or increase in Doppler Colour Flow. The doctor are refering me to go for a CT scan soon. Can anybody tell me should i worry about this large mass that are currently in my body because the doctors did not actually explained my current situation to me. I am currently 22 years old.

I had a very similar thing happen to me at the start of the year, large 36cm cyst on my ovary which I have now had removed along with my right ovary and my cyst was malignant. To be honest they can't really tell you much until the ct scan at first my docs thought it was just ibs, had a ultrasound and they could only see fluid nothing else. So you are best off at the moment trying not to worry and wait to see what the results are of the ct scan!
I know it's easy for people to say don't worry because that's all you think about believe I've been there and it's still not all over for me yet but just take each day as it comes. Take care x

I feel scared about my 11.8 cm complex cyst.
My original surgery date was June 13, but there was a cancellation and I was offered June 9th.

So they found mucinous cancer cells in my cyst which is classed as stage one ovarian cancer. Now at the time of them telling me this I was in total shock and probably cried for about a week but they were really positive that they caught it all as my doctor said this type doesn't usually spread. So they offered me chemo but said as they think they caught it all they didn't want me to go through chemo until they were sure it hasn't gone anywhere else. So after they told me this I was then booked in for an endoscopy and colonoscopy as sometimes this type can be linked to the bowels. Had my tests and they didn't find anything else thank god! So now I am having another ct scan on July to make sure I have no more cysts growing and if I have any stomach pains which are out of the ordinary and are persistent, any changes in my bowels or my period I need to go get checked!
It is scary as its just the unknown but they can't really confirm anything until they have a look inside. I was in so much pain with this cyst I couldn't walk for long, it hurt to bend down, to lay down it was jus constant towards the end.
Just make sure if you are in any constant pain tell your docs etc straight away, take care and hope everything gets sorted for you xx
