Hi every one im a newbie here... had so much happen in the last few months i dont know where to start!!! It all stared with a bad smear/pap result, had the loop and some test on the womb, followed by an infection and rushed into hospital with a BP bleed, never had any answers as to what the cause really was, had a CT scan while there and complex cyst was found on ovary!! my doctor then sent me to have TV scan... found the cysts was 4cm slighty bigger than from the CT scan. had a CA125 and came back as 56..... now had follow up scan and have complex cysts on both ovarys plus a few simple ones, the CA125 is now 64.. am booked in for a lap on the 6th of april :) have now been told it may be endometriosis as well... i have very heavy periods with clotting which can last up to 10day... problems with my bowels ...painful sex!! bloating and in pain all the time.. also have no energy, forgot to say im 43 in a couple of weeks, just wanted to know if any body has had the same and can possibly shed some light on this please?? im not one to panic and very level headed but my gyno just seems to rush me out of his office with no answers,, many thanks x forgot to say i also have a polop in my womb x

hi all.....ok so six days post op, i ended up having cysts removed along with ovary and tube plus a D&C.. my question is now how long till my tissue and histology results come back?? I had been home 5mins when i got a call saying the doctor wants to see me already :S so that has made me a little worried as it was so quick,,, i couldnt get there as fast as they wanted so now waiting to see him on the 16 April...  :) any advice would be welcome please??

What you have been through is scary.  You do have some worrisome symptoms and test results.
About the only advice or suggestion I can make is that you request a referral to a gyn/oncologist.  That is definitely the person you want by your side during any surgical procedure.  If , for some reason, your doctor doesn't agree ....call and make an appointment for yourself.  The sooner the better.  Take copies of all your medical records....scans, blood work, test results, etc.
Don't wait until April 6.....see a gyn/oncologist BEFORE your surgery.....YOU HAVE ONLY ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME......get a gyn/oncologist to perform your surgery.
Please do let us know how things are progressing and good luck.
Peace.
