I wonder if anyone else has had experience similar to me. 5 years ago following very heavy bleeding I ended up in A & E and admitted to gynae ward. 2 weeks later I was telephoned in the morning and asked to attend a hysteroscopy appointment that afternoon. The consultant told me that what he could see looked very like cancer and I was told I needed an urgent hysterectomy. Incredibly when the histology came back after the hysterectomy I was told there was nothing sinister and no cancer was found. They left my ovaries and Fallopian tubes.
Then a couple of years later I have a CT scan due to stomach pain and it identified an ovarian cyst about 5cm. Again I was referred to gynae and they requested firstly an ultrasound and then an MRI and eventually advised me that I had a hydrosalpinx (fluid in the Fallopian tube). I was advised by the consultant that no treatment was required and over the next couple of years this hydrosalpinx size was monitored until eighteen months ago when it virtually disappeared altogether.
4 weeks ago I was sent for an ultrasound scan completely out of the blue and the results came back immediately. This time the sonography has identified what could be a complex cyst and she did not feel that what she saw was a hydrosalpinx. The mass she could see was now 6cm and she described it as tortuous and cystic. Fast track to gynae and I was seen on Saturday by a consultant who advised me that it needs to be removed along with Fallopian tubes and both ovaries. Once removed it will be sent for analysis and histology.
As you can probably imagine my mind is racing and I've convinced myself that I am riddled with cancer. I have been experiencing severe bloating for years and have on going stomach problems with inflammation in my stomach and no explanation following a recent endoscopy. Has anyone else experienced anything similar as I would love to hear from you and how it all turned out
