Has anyone NOT received surgery after diagnosis for ovarian cancer/cyst

Hi , waiting for test results is so tough and I can relate to wanting the mass out . My experience has been that scans and biopsies enable  the medical team to get a detailed understanding of whats going on and best treatments going forward. We are all different and decisions about and timing of surgery and chemotherapy depends on results of tests. I know the 17th must feel like a long time to wait, there will be a treatment plan unique to you. Hopefully you have someone with you on the 17th to offer support . I know it’s difficult , maybe write down questions you want to ask. Take care of yourself and hope next week gives answers.  Xx

I just want to know if others didn't receive surgery.

That was all.

No  I dont have anyone to accompany me, I'm an ex nurse and Applied Biologist  I know what I need to ask .

Hi Cheekkat

I hope that your appointment on Wednesday with the consultant goes well and brings some answers and a plan.

I totally get that you want it out ASAP- I was the same.

My friend who is a Consultant Radiologist has said they don't always offer surgery !! 

How can that be with a 17.5 cm lump that is impacting my stomach and bowels and making me feel ill. 

Hopefully you will have yours removed and very quickly and safely. With me I first saw a consultant on a Friday and by Friday pm I was having pre op checks. I had surgery on the Monday am. It seems that once the consultant is involved and the testing done- they normally seem to move more quickly. 

Good Luck for tomorrow

Are you in UK,  as that does seem quick 

yes UK.

Had surgery 4 weeks after the initial bleed that alerted me to a problem. 

That was quick

I hope my consultant will get me in fast ..

Hi,new here  ,hope it goes well for you tomorrow, you sound like you're going to ask all the right questions, I'd take notes too. I had a 5 cm cyst on my right ovary and there was no question of them not removing it! They told me this on the first consultation!! After the biopsy they only then confirmed cancer. I had my first surgery 4 weeks after the consultation. They just removed the ovaries then as they were unable to complete the full hysterectomy because some of the uterus was stuck to the bowel. I was referred to another hospital where I had full hysterectomy/ laporatomy ,8 weeks later at end of May. I have stage 2c, and just started chemotherapy last week, 6 week cycle.

All the best and take care

My mum has only been offered chemo but shes stage 3 with lung clots ️
