Hi all,
My mum is currently being fast tracked with suspected ovarian cancer but, due to the current Covid restrictions, we’re uncertain of next steps and would appreciate any advice or experience of similar situations.
Mum started with severe pain in her lower abdomen last weekend that she wondered if it was appendicitis or maybe IBS.
She saw the triage nurse (due to Covid) on Wednesday and they discovered a large mass in her uterus area. Three separate nurses examined her. She had the blood test but hasn’t had the results back yet.
She has been referred to the oncology team and had a call today to say her appointment will be next week via Zoom. How can such an appointment be carried out via Zoom? We would love to know what to expect.
To give further background:
- mum is 59 and post menopausal
- has been on HRT and most recently Vagifem
- has previous history of endometriosis and ovarian cysts
- has had no other symptoms of ovarian cancer and is otherwise fit and healthy
Any advice is greatly appreciated whilst we’re in this limbo mode of not knowing what this is or what happens next, especially in such uncertain times due to Covid!
Thank you
