Hello lovelies, 

I am trying hard not to be concerned but as a analyst I naturally have every scenerio and risk! 

I had a follow up with consultant last Thursday after my ultrasound, my mass is a large , fast growing ovarian cyst at the scan it was roughly 18cm :( and sitting below belly button, when I got to him 6 days later it was a couple cm’s above belly button, so so uncomfortable 

Bob the blob (yes named it as figured im growing it , it needs a name lol) Bob is going to be evicted as its growing even amongst all this covid uncertainty, which i am so grateful for! Dont think i could have lasted till after it settles.

he didn't say it was or wasnt cancer, but i needed more blood tests, and a urgent ct scan of chest abdomen and pelvis , then it will go to MDT to make a decision on which team will do the surgery etc gynaecologist or Oncologist.

more i think about it, if was a simple cyst why the ct scan? To me they looking for spread and to stage it, as that is what my other half’s journey was with testicular cancer...i know different cancers. 

I know im overthinking, an trying not to but its there playing on my mind.

i am terrible would like the facts regardless of how bad as that I can plan for and prepare for, unknowns and maybe just are to many scenarios to deal with lol

anyway thanks for reading

hope everyone is safe and doing well considering everything

  • I think, if you take a breath and think about it, you would rather they look at all the options to rule everything out. Don’t talk yourself into the worse case scenario. 
    It’s hard, my other half had mouth, tongue and neck cancer a couple of years before I had mine and it’s so easy to assume it’s all happening again. 
    Maybe it is, in which case you are well equipped to deal with it. But maybe, just maybe, it’s just a cyst.

    No matter what happens, you can do this. I’m thinking of you and hope you get answers soon. 
    If if is a diagnosis of cancer, it doesn’t have to be the end of the world. I had my full hysterectomy nearly a year ago, had 6 rounds of chemo and am now clear. Life can go on. Xxx

    If the plan doesn't work, change the plan but never the goal!
