Abdominal mass in lower right quadrant ..

I went to the doctors last Friday after having different tests last week i.E mammogram ultrasound had a few things going on had blood tests also my folic acid came back that I need to buy over the counter tablets I’m slight anemic also any way the doc asked me to lie down on the bed and when she pressed my tummy on the right side it was excruciatingly painful she then told me I have an abdominal mass I was shocked by the look on her face when I asked should I be worried she said she can’t confirm anything to me or put my mind at rest she said I’m to be referred for a colonoscopy in the next two weeks I’m just going out of my mind as you’d imagine as I’m experiencing pain radiating into my right hip and bad back pain on the lower right side and as I can feel the lump myself now I’m googling my symptoms and don’t know what to think .. I asked her was it my ovaries she said no my abdomen or bowels ‍♀️.. I have lost weight over the last few months my bowels  aren’t bad one min constipated the next very loose .. has anyone else experienced anything like this the pain is constantly there like a tooth ache nagging pain in my hip n back .. 

  • Hello Harobed72 

    Welcome to the forum although I'm sorry to read about the problems that have led you here. 

    It's understandable that you're feeling shocked and worried at the moment. This period of waiting for the referral appointment, tests and then results can be particulalry difficult and I'm afraid that Dr Google generally only adds to the stress of the wait. It's best to avoid Google if you can. 

    It's been a week now since you saw the GP. Have you heard from the hospital yet with a date for the appointment? Hopefully you're not having to wait too long. If you think it would be helpful to chat with one of our team of nruses ahead of your appointment then you can call them Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch and let us know how you're getting on. 
    Best wishes,

  • Hi! Im having the same symptoms as yourself. Gp also found a lump in the right lower abdomen. She said it feels like a sausage shaped lump. Im very worried now as she gave an urgent referral to colorectal unit within two weeks. Im scared of colon cancer. I have been very stressed past two weeks that i lost nearly 2kg and feel very anxious. I have also had an ultrasound of ovaries which showed bigger right ovary with small cysts on it have also been reffered to gynaecologist but not withinh the two week procedure. I would really appreciate it if you share the outcome of you diagnosis. 

     

    Thanks
