Hi, feel a bit of a fraud posting here as don't have a certain diagnosis yet but feeling very much in limbo land just now.
43, premenopausal. Saw GP back in July as had some bleeding between periods, I'm on tamoxifen as had breast cancer 6 years ago when I was 37.
GP referred me for an ultrasound that showed some fibroids and a simple ovarian cyst, the plan was to rescan in 3 months.
GP didn't know how to treat my heavy periods as I can't take anything hormonal due to precious breast cancer being hormone receptive so referred me to gynae.
Saw gynaecologist who requested a hysteroscopy, the 3 month rescan of the cyst and did a blood test and that's when things got a bit scary.
The hysteroscopy came back clear but my Ca125 has come back raised, prompting the consultant to request a ct scan that I had almost 4 weeks ago. I don't know the number, I'm scared to ask.
Had a call from gynae oncology the other day to say ct scan showed a 4.7cm lesion on the left side of my womb (I assume this is the cyst they were scanning for but nurse couldn't be more specific), they don't know if it is benign or malignant and that I was now under their care and I'd get an appointment for an appointment with gynae oncologist, but that I'd need to have a complete hysterectomy, including ovaries etc. Waiting on that appointment at the moment.
Feel like it's quite a jump to go straight to hysterectomy as it could still be benign, unless they're just saying that so I don't panic?!
Anyway, very much in limbo land and hoping for more info soon!
