Hello! I am just looking for some support while I live through the horrible limbo pre diagnosis. I have had various procedures done for heavy periods and the last one they couldn’t complete because of a polyp / possible fibroid which had apparently regrown after my last D&C. 

Long story short I am bundled off for uss pelvis and transvaginal. All is going well until she starts looking at my ovaries and suddenly went to get another sonographer for a second opinion. She came in and they both start peering at the screen, no one says anything and it all goes very quiet. 

next thing I am being told I’ll need blood test and MRI like as not and not to Google anything. She talked about increased blood flow and follicles and stuff but it  didn’t really make any sense to me or reassure me. 

 then I get out on the 2ww pathway so am now waiting to see the consultant in about 10 days. I veer from thinking it will be fine to thinking I’ve cancer but obviously I can’t know either of these things. 

I just keep replaying that scan experience in my mind and seeing their faces and their obvious concern. 

I have had early breast cancer 2 years ago and partially reconstruction so I really don’t want another massive disruption in my life but whatever it is they’ve found I’m probably am in for more surgery or worse and I don’t know how to get through these anxious days to come and beyond. 

Thanks for listening x

  • Hi Kasper, I wanted to reply to you cause I remember the weeks waiting for the results of an ovarian biopsy my partner had. It's a truly horrible time and not knowing what the outcome would be played on my mind every waking minute. I remember wishing for nighttime so I could sleep as it was the only time.my mind would be able to rest. I eventually found getting out of the house helped us so much....walking anywhere always helped ease our anxiety. I remember wishingI had a dog ( I have one now!!) So that I would be forced to get out the house.

    Try not to let your worst fears overwhelming you. It sounds like you've been through so much already so it's easy to let your mind try and bring you down. But you can stay strong and please lean on those closest to you, they are there to help. I know it's difficult but try and keep yourself occupied, books, walks, junk tv, anything that can allow you to rest your mind. It won't go away till you know but it might.give you some rest bite. 

    I hope some.of that helps, and I really hope there is positive news at the end of this for you. 

    One step at a time.
