I had an MRI as I have had various bowel and gynae issues and so I have been bounced around having lots of tests done, most of which were coming back normal.
However I just received the MRI report of my pelvis that states ‘there is a multi cystic lesion seen at the pelvic brim, abutting small bowel loops and iliac vessels. It resembles an ovary but is not one. This could be arising exophytically from bowel, or the retroperiniteal structure. ?nodal. This focus was not visible in 2013. No high t1 signal is seen. No definite endometriosis deposits seen. Suggest urgent ct scan for lobulated, multicystic focus that is indeterminate on this scan.’
I then got a call an hour later and the scan is booked in 3 days time. I’m just trying to work out if it’s cancer they are looking for? I don’t feel they do CT scans lightly? Has anyone had anything like this?? I’m confused. I’m 38 with the 3 little children and my eldest two lost their dad in August so my anxiety is sky high
Hi Ljs10
Welcome to the Womb group.
I am sorry to hear that something has been seen on the MRI and it is causing you concern.
It sounds like they have put you on an urgent pathway to find out what this lesion is. They have seen some form of cyst on the scan and they need to investigate further. This does not mean that they think it is necessarily cancer but they need to rule it out. It is normal for this to be done on the urgent pathway.
A lesion/cyst can have different causes but it is always important to rule out any potentially more serious causes as soon as possible and that seems to be what is happening. Once they know what it is then they can decide which treatment (if any) maybe needed. Many cysts can be benign and may just need further monitoring.
I understand that it is a worrying time and do give the Support Line a call if talking things through would help. They are there from 8am-8pm daily.
