thanks for your reply. Im trying to breathe and not think the worst my mum has history of fibroids and endometriosis so im hoping im just following suit...... i dont really want that either but its better than the big C hey?
ive been given tablets toto stop the bleeding which have worked and the rib pain has gone ...... thnik that was a pulled muscle ...... fingers crossed.
just want to get the balll rolling to find out what it is as my mind is sending me mad ..... thought i was strong but this is destroying who i am .... im moddy, sad, upset and lethargic but think thats my wollowing in self pity thats making me feel bad.
My poor bloke is beingg put through the mill.
Im just so scared that it might be bad =[ =[
thank you for taking the time to reply to me..... the support means so much
Take care and glad your news was good xx
Hey. I had something very similiar to your symptoms in Spring 2007. I went to ER & they basically told me I had cancer and it was bad. Went to an oncologist/gyn dr who said he thought I had a fibroid out of control & most likely leaking. Had complete hysterectomy (my choice) and all test showed the dr. was right. My fbroid was leaking and causing me great pain & was so bad that he had to take out my appendix as the fibroid irritated it until it was about to burst. So, take deep breaths and try to relax & stay calm until you have all the facts. Cancer is always our first thought but not always the right one! I'll keep you in my prayers! Good Luck! And, dian is right!! Kelly
Thanks for your reply Dian ..... ive an appointment with gyni on 15th but last night started to bleed heavier and have pain under ribs and in belly and back so im off to dooctors this morning.
As you said hopefully its a benign mass just things seem to be getting worse since i had scan ..... it was internal so not sure if thats done something, havent bled for this long before :(
Thank you for your kind words of support, means alot when you feel so low........ im trying not to worry but every day there seems to be something to remind me .... look at my babies and think the worse .... im not ready for all of this.
i only have my mum a few close friends and my partner that i do not love with, feel i have too much time to think once the kids are in bed and life is just ggoing on foor everyone else..... now i know something is there 2 weeks seems a long time to wait.....
Last night was a bad night your reply came at a perfect time. Thanks again xx
Hey there, kid. Try not to imagine the worst right now. More then 95% of all ovarian tumors are benign....odds are definately in your favor !
If you were my daughter, I would insist you see a gyn/oncologist as they are the specialists for issues in this arena. It is absolutely imperative you have a gyn/oncologist perform your surgery if there is to be surgery. A gyn/oncologist has years of extra training for just this type occasion. If you haven' t already been referred to one please request a referral of make the call yourself.
Not knowing what is going on is so hard. The only way to know what's what is to biopsy the tumor and that is done during surgery....after that your gyn/oncologist will be able to make a plan of action.
Try not to worry too much.....hang in there and please come back when you want or need to talk.
There are many women here who have been where you are right now. We are all here to help in any way possible.
You hang in there, kid.....you are not alone.
Peace.
