Hi I was rushed into hospital on 2nd March with severe abdominal pains. It was found after a CTScan that I had a mass of 11cms on my left ovary and 2 smaller ones on my right ovary. I had had no symptoms prior to the pain coming on. I was transferred to another hospital for an emergency operation where I had the masses removed , ovaries removed and 5 biopsies. 2 weeks later I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer as well as uterine cancer. I had further scans etc to see if the cancer showed anywhere else and luckily came back clear. Unfortunately due to the pandemic I was told that my next operation which would be a total abdominal hysterectomy would not be able to take place within the guidelines due to the backlog. I was too anxious to wait any longer than necessary for my next operation so decided to go private. I had my operation in just over a week after seeing the consultant and was very impressed with the service given . I am now awaiting the results from the second operation ( hysterectomy) to see what treatment I need next.I am recovering fine from both operations but got to say after my second one I suffered emotionally and felt like I was having “flashbacks “ from the night I took ill. Is this a normal reaction to such a difficult time?
