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
