Hi All,
I’m 54 and at least 1 year post menopause, although it’s complicated as an attempt with HRT seemed to mess my system up. But no periods now for at least 1 year. Still get hormonal migraines though.
Underwent an ultrasound in May, GP wanted to see what my fibroids were up to as I’d had some cystitis type problems in February and March which turned out to be VA causing bladder issues, 6 weeks of Ovestin and all gone away😊 Now using Ovestin whenever I need it. Also had a niggle on the left side so mentioned that to the technician.
Interestingly, one large fibroid has shrunk and one seems to have disappeared altogether, which I’m somewhat sceptical about.
Anyway, the scan showed a ‘suspicious multicystic adnexal lesion’ probably from the left ovary- from what I can understand it’s a mass with several cells one of which is 2.9cm x 1.8cm-I was diagnosed with PCOS 20+ years ago and have had cysts periodically that go away by themselves. CA125 was 28, so all good there.
I have no pain, no discomfort, no nothing. I wouldn’t even know it was there if it wasn’t for the scan- which I know can be a good thing. No history of any gynae cancers in my family.
But I’ve put on the 2 week cancer pathway- GP said it’s because the urgent appointments are a years wait.
I guess my question is should I be concerned? GP not overly helpful to be honest and she is the 5th one I’ve had to see regarding these problems- no continuity at our surgery.
One odd thing did happen though…about a week after the ultrasound, I was aware of the left side niggle on and off all day- that evening and this is a touch graphic- I passed a mucousy blob, maybe 2 tablespoons of fluid, clearing, no pink or red. After that, no more niggling on the left side.
Spent this afternoon feeling sick with worry. Don’t know where to turn, or what to expect now.
Anyone else experienced similar? Anything greatly appreciated.
