feeling very lost and confused, and desperately searching for some kind of answers.
i am 24 years old, living in Canada. I have been sick for the past three and a half years.
(Jan 2007) child is born, trouble losing weight
(May 2007) long standing pain in the middle of my back, lasting six months.
(June 2008) back pain with abdominal pain
(October 2008) suspected gall stones, no sign from ultrasound.
(November 2008) test to see gall bladder function, which showed that my gall bladder would fill, but would not empty.
(May 2009) gall bladder, more stomach issues. Overactive bowel, back pain, abdominal pain worsening.
(mid-July 2009), twenty-five pounds lost unexplainably, frequent emergency room visits.
(September 2009) was the last time my period was on time and regular.
(April 2010) lower left abdomin pain shooting into leg. causing mobility and sleeping issues
bacterial infection in my bladder which may have gotten to my kidneys.
bacterial infection had cleared my system, no more visits to emergency room
(June 2010) ultrasound to check my liver and pancreas, shadow on ovary, pelvic exam suggested and completed.
solid mass found on ovary.
suspect calcified dermoid cyst, 6cm diameter. high white blood cell count. no pain other than first two weeks after disturbed.
Recently found out that grandfather and uncle on my father's side died from cancer, unknown type.
(July 2010) terrified and waiting until get to see gynocologist on 17th to find out what plans are.
I have been trying to find out what I can, but I am overly concerned. I am depressed, tired, change in sleeping habits, emotional and numb. I don't like not knowing whether I am simply fine or dying. That is a very frustrating variation. It keeps me very confused and lost, and not knowing what I should do. Any kind of info that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.
