I always get swollen lymph nodes in my armpit, but at the moment my lymph glands are swollen in my neck and collar bone, Ive no cold or anything so dont know whats going on.
Well i get to know my fate tomorrow I been told my consultant will be calling me to deceide what to do as he was going to look at my scan today, i dont know whether he will still want to watch and wait, but Im not to sure whether they think its now getting serious with 3 complex cysts in my only ovary each the size of golfballs even though the think they are the haemorragic type, Im waiting for it they will tell me too small for pain.
Im not too sure about lymph nodes in the pelvis, so i could not tell you
Just to let you know i suffered when i was younger with infertility and cyst on ovarys i had 2 children so dont worry, you need to stop worrying about pregnancy, my 2nd child i had to have infertility drugs, I thought i was past all of this after I had my hysterectomy
We were trying for a baby and obviously nothing was happening so went for checks, had a scan and there is was, so it was a shock!
Where are your swollen lymph nodes, can you feel them? I am not sure if mine are lymph nodes or not, they are above my public bone, not my groin, they feel like small squidgy fat balls, I could have always had them, but I have just been feeling more, i dont know if its my abdomen wall, I am not fat, in fact I have lost alot of weight due to worrying, so I dont know if its lose muscle, i am only 7.5 stone. I have read you are not supposed to feel pelvic lymph nodes because they are too deep in the pelvis, even if swollen
I know where your coming from ere they do not have a clue about a cyst until they go in and open you up, i was meant to be under an oncologist at leeds but i ended up an emergency I had a trans vaginal one first then cat scan and they still did not have a clue 1 minute they told me it was cancer then the next minute not horrible experience I had swollen lypmh nodes to but that can be anything I have them really bad at moment
Try not to worry its the worse thing you can do this is why I would never wish to have a cyst drained, my big cyst I did not have a clue it was there but when they found it it was 10cm, but your surgery will be straight forward, and you will feel better asap, its easy to say not to worry, but a lot of dermoids are benign, I was so sure my was cancer, but hey I was ok, and your young, Im waiting to see my consultant urgently and I sorta know i will be having surgery in a few weeks or maybe an emergency so eres fingers crossed all is ok for you, honestly you will feel miles better afterwards, just dont rush recovery like I did.
How did you know your cyst was there !
They drained it because at first the ultrasound scan said multiple fine echoes, most likely a hemorrhagic cyst or endometrioma, I too cant beleive he drained it once he went in, he said it will show completely solid because he has drained the fluid so its all conjealed, so I am wondering if its all the hair that you get in dermoids that lumped together, the fluid was okay when tested, but I am concerned the solid tissue wont be, and now I am worried he could have spread cells and I keep thinking I can feel swollen lymph nodes on my lower abdomen just above my pelvis, but I am not sure if its fatty muscle, I have been so worried over it all, and people keep saying they must know what they are doing, but I keep saying he shouldnt have drained it, it could have been anything. I didnt have an MRI or Cat Scan, just an transabdominal ultrasound. He thinks its a dermoid, but I know a small percentage of those can be cancerous, I just hope I am not in that small percent. I cant believe they burnt your thighs! You have ben through so much. I am in Warrington, Cheshire. Next time I am coming back as a Man!
They dont have a clue I think like the first time and after a cat scan until they went in they did not know what they were dealing with and my scan was only last thurs so waiting to see consultant when ever that is I dont think I have the option of laproscopy, cause of adhesions, I have had 3 laprotomys 5 keyhole, and keyhole is not one they can do for me now, my last surgery was a laparotomy, things were a mess adhesions, they had to laser them I came back from surgery with all my thighs burnt as well from the laser
Omg they tried to drain yours not a good option if it is solid and they should of known that from mri and cat scan, I hope your surgery goes ok, you are not so far away from me as Im in lancashire, be thinking of you, I might and hoping they sort me out within next few weeks, my cyst are growing very fast one grown in 2 weeks to 5cm so a little scared with these ones
Tinabro, if the hospital is really really sure they are hemorrgrahic cysts you could ask them to drain them via laporscopy or ultrasound guidance. Hemorhagic cysts do resolve on their own but they can take a few months, they thought I had a 10cm hemorhagic cyst or endometrioma, so drained it, but it wasnt either, they now think its a dermoid (they can all look similar on ultrasound) I still have mine and it looks completely solid now, so I am having it taken out next Tuesday. I wouldnt recommend draining a cyst only if they were absolutely sure it is a hemorrograhic or simple cyst, they could tell this by viewing it by laporscopy keyhole, which will be much much less invasive surgery for you. I really hope you get this sorted, I feel for you and the pain you have gone through. Having said that, if you are not bothered about losing your only ovary, you could ask them to take it during keyhole, but I am sure at 41 you wont want to go through the surgical menopause
Sounds like a terrible hospital in the UK. My NHS hospital reacted very quickly with mine (within 2 weeks) although they did only drain it, 8 weeks on I face another surgery, but this time the laparotomy.
