Hi, I'm just at the very start of what seems to be a journey with ovarian cancer. After months of abdominal pain, ultrasounds, bloods, etc, they have seen a new cyst on one of my ovaries.
A follow up CT scan shows the edges have changed from an ultrasound a few weeks earlier, so they're treating it as cancer right now.
I'm due to have a guided biopsy on the 20th, but my consultant team are saying that's not soon enough.
Today I had a pre-op for surgery (I think for a total hysterectomy) which they will also use if I can get an earlier surgical biopsy slot.
On Monday I have a meeting with my Gynae-Oncology Surgeon and am hoping to get a little more clarity about what, why, and when.
It's all a bit bonkers tbh.
We're moving house on the 14th (thankfully just 15 minutes up the road and will be next door to my amazing sister and family) and just found out today that our 16yo's major knee surgery is now not going to be for 12-18 months and we're heartbroken for her.
Just to say I was introduced to my amazing Macmillan nurse last week and I'm so glad to have found this community early on in my journey
