Following ultra sound scan of pelvis and internal scan my GP sent me on two week urgent journey however I was only told about thickening of lining of wall I am terrified about this referral

I have been doing the same, looking at google  but everyone says it’s the worst thing. My doctors also seem abit closed about what’s going on , I’ve come to the conclusion that it is because until they open you up they don’t know for sure. The Two week waiting is mentally awful,  I had my appointment last Thursday. Now I have had a good cry, told my family and have to wait again!! But I don’t want to waste any more days. I guess our job is to stay fit, just manage our symptoms and get raed for surgery and trust the experts . Take care 

Hi, and sorry you find yourself having to join a second group on this site.

I know from my own experience that the initial phase of diagnosis was the hardest and most scary - particularly when there are so many unknowns, and questions racing through your head. I certainly found it much easier to deal with when my medical team had some answers and a plan for me, and it that respect found the 2 week fast-tracking to be a good thing.

The symptoms you describe though can relate to many different things, which it seems your medical team are working to rule out, and I hope that your appointment on Friday brings you some peace of mind.

Meanwhile, I’d strongly advise staying away from “Dr Google” which tends to provide lots of outdated, incorrect and scary reports - and trust instead in the experts to know what treatment(s) are best to get you through this.

Wishing you all the best for Friday - and it would be great to hear how you get on if you feel like posting on this site again,

Thank you so much I will watch a documentary and try to get out the habit of looking up things on dreaded google 

Hi Bellman,

So sorry you weren't told her thoughts about suspected ovarian cancer- that must have been a nasty shock. I agree about not googling- it will only make you feel worse. It's great that you're seeing the Gynae on Friday- take a notepad and make notes of what they say because it's so hard to take everything in. And take a list of questions so you don't forget anything. This period of waiting is the worst, but once you have the facts and a plan in place you'll feel better. It's the unknown and the worry which is so hard. 

I was diagnosed in Nov 2012, Stage 3c, at age 40 and later found out I have the faulty BRCA1 gene, which gives a much higher risk of ovarian cancer. I had 6 lots of chemo and full hysterectomy and omentectomy, and I'm still cancer-free since finishing surgery in 2013. The options for treatment are improving all the time so try to stay positive and let us know how it goes on Friday. Sending virtual hugs to you and everyone who is playing the horrible waiting game at the moment.
