I have been told that I need to have a hysterectomy as there is a 50/50 chance tthat I may have ovarian cancer.
they have not been able to do a biopsy, I have asked to see the consultant again as there must be other ways to check before I make that decision. no blood tests have been done or MRI scan, pls couldn't any one give me advice before I see consultant tomorrow and what questions I should ask.
many thanks
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear that you may have ovarian cancer. As this is not something I have any personal knowledge of could I point you in the direction of the ovarian cancer group where you can ask questions and get support.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then post a question or introduce yourself after selecting 'start a discussion' and respond to existing posts by clicking on 'reply'.
I have found this information for you on how ovarian cancer is diagnosed and also this information about asking your doctor questions.
When you feel up to it, it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
