I’m not sure where to began. I feel completely lost like time has just stopped. Maybe I’m jumping ahead of myself but I really am fearing the worst.
about 4 weeks ago I had my smear test and that same evening I started experiencing severe pelvic pain, fever, chills. Called 111 as it was Friday evening and they prescribed antibiotics for a suspected water infection. The pain eased with painkillers but the next day still felt unwell, had cold sweats and passed out. Stupidly I did not go to hospital and started taking the antibiotics. These did not work so spent the next week at my doctors, a different antibiotic which also didn’t work, still having pelvic pain at the front but now started to have twinges on the left side (felt different to the pelvic pain I was already having) my dr referred me for an ultrasound and gave me different antibiotics a combination of 2 they use to treat pelvic inflammatory disease. These antibiotics have cleared up any infection that may have been in my pelvis and the pelvic pain has gone I’m feeling much better. Still having these twinges though in my left ovary. Went for my scan and she found a 2.5cm “cyst” on my left ovary. She didn’t seem concerned and she let me see the screen, didn’t know what I was looking at though. She also said there was fluid in there which I thought was a good thing and she didn’t seem worried.
i went to see my doctor today who had the report back and he mentioned “vascular” which didn’t sound good. He referred me on the 2 week wait he said he didn’t think it was cancer but this will get me seen quickly. Now I’m panicking and I googled what vascular means when it comes to cysts and it said they’re linked to cancer. I’m so confused because when she did the scan she mentioned there was fluid in there.
sorry to ramble. Has anyone else had this before and it turned out to be a cyst? It seems small but I’m sure size does not factor into cancer. I’m just terrified it is cancer and who knows how long Iv had this.
thanks
