Hi. This is my first post. My mom had an ultrasound 2 days ago done privately. The sonography team identified 4 lesions in uterus which she thinks are fibroids. There was also an adnexal lesion on the right hand side which was described as ‘irregular’. She was advised to see a doctor and recommended a CT scan by the sonographer. Her CA125 is normal and has been all year.
Nothing has been diagnosed but my mom is really upset. She is convinced she has cancer. I’m a 39 year old male and I sobbed like a child last night because I can see the worry and the angst on her face. I tried to be reassuring. I know it’s not conclusive but it’s a good thing the blood marker was normal. The doctor gave her no reassurance and wouldn’t speculate on the report. He has referred her to a consultant for 20th October.
I woke up this morning at 1:30 feeling terrified. I love my mom so much. She has done so much for me. I care about other people’s sadness and would rather experience any pain and trauma myself.
My work is hugely pressured at a primary school. I care for a lot of people. Yet right now, I feel fear. The thought of working with such uncertainty has stressed me like nothing before in my life.
