Hi, My name is Mariah and I am new to this site and forums in general. I live in Queensland Australia and am 38 and would appreciate any feedback to my problem. Seven years ago I had a hysterectomy and cervix removal due to endometriosis. Two years ago I had my right ovary and a fallopian tube removed due to a cystic mass. My tumour markers were elevated, but I did not have cancer. Moving on, I have now being diagnosed with a complex cystic and solid mass within the left adnexa which is probably of ovarian origin and a large volume of free fluid present within the pelvic cavity which is probably blood. The solid component is 38mm in maximal diameter with multiple thin walled sonolucent adjacent components. My markers are normal.I am scheduled for surgery within the next few weeks and am a little scared. They will do a midline laparotomy again, along with an oestregen implant in my tummy. The thing that is scaring me most is symptoms I didn't have before. My lymph nodes in my groin are swollen, am short of breath, extremely tired, terrible pain in my stomach, back and left side, acid reflux and a searing pain in my clavicle. I have a partner and friends here, but they dont want to discuss my feelings or fears because they say its morbid, so I am going through a silent hell by myself whilst I wait for surgery. I have no family in this country. I just need to communicate with someone who has been through a similar experience. I'm worried about what the surgeons will find. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, with kindest regards
