thanks kess and ruby1 for your replies tbh im feeling abit worried today. I just found out yesterday that I was sent for urgent cancer refural just due to the ascites and I am having a full body ct scan on tuesday for that. also the hospital didnt recieve my breast clinic refereal and my gp has sent it again yestersay but I think that if theres anything to worry about on my breast that it will show up on my ct scan? also I havent told any of my family as they already have alot to deal with at the moment and I dont want to add unnecessary worry to them. I feel like im over reacting and feel embarrassed that im causing this big deal for nothing. the ascites were found as I couldnt get over a chest infection despite 2 weeks of antibiotics and was sent for bloods which showed up something that im not sure of but lead to a stomach ultrasound which showed the ascites then I found the breast lump so I dont no what to think now…im still feeling tired and am still getting upper back pain…im sorry this message is so long I no im rambling on abit sorry xxx
I knew I had full body ct but only yesterday found out I was sent to urgent cancer referal for the ascites…I thought ct was just to find the cause of the ascites which I was hoping could just be due to having had 3cesarean sections?
p.s ruby1 you asked if the ascites was painful? tbh with last c section I had alot of scar tissue called adheisions which I was told would cause me alot of pain so the pains I was having in my stomach for the last 3 years I always asumed was due to the scar tissue so now im not sure what was causing the pain.
the surgeon said it was the worst case of adheisions that she had ever seen and had to call in another sergeon to help deliver the baby. they also said another pregnancy could be fatal for me … so thats why ive never looked into the stomach pain before my bladder womb bowels and stomach are all stuck together with adheisions and they said further surgery to try to repair it could just make it worse…ok im sorry im just rambling on again …sorry but yeah that was the story with the stomach pain…
thanks ruby1 for your reply its nice knowing someone is listening. about telling my family …my mum is really worried as my dad has just found a lump im really worried too as 2 of his sisters and 2 brothers and his mother died of cancer. also my younger sister is going through alot at the moment too so I dont think I should tell my parents as this could all be nothing with me and may just be due to the scar tissue and the breast lump might only be a cyst hopefully
thanks ruby1 I wont lie im not feeling brave right now I cant sleep. I had my ct on 19th around 7pm and ultrasound it wasnt a full body ct as I thought just a pelvis one for the ascites) well had my gp surgery called me at 7:45 am on 20th about my ultrasound results that my gp was away yesterday so I need to go in tomorrow morning at 8 am. I had my ultra sound the evening before aftr 7 pm…is this normal for my gp to contact me so soon?I just cant sleep. so I quess I’ll know in another 6 hours. my breast clinic apointment is on wednesday but now I dont seem as worried bout that for some reason. I feel like they have found something bad on ultrasound and I have read adheisions dont show up on ultrasound so Im just nervous to find out what it is…
goodnight xxx
thank u ruby1 for your msg im here in gp waiting room feeling alot calmer now I think everything just seems so much worse at night and I didnt sleep to good at all
I’ll be thinking of u today with ur apointment as well and pray that u will get news xxx
I probly looked a right state right now lol no sleep:-(
hi ruby so I got the results of ultrasound says I have a mass on right ovary and need an mri and more tests also I have cysts on the lyning of the womb. im not hoing to google anymore and suprisingly still feel calm.
I hope your apointment goes well xxx thanks for your support big hugs xxxxx
goodluck with your apointment ruby
hope everything goes well xxxx goodluck xxxxx
p.s plz let me no how u get on xxx
thats good news ruby thank god xxx u did right by pushing for the referral. my cousin recently found out she had cancer and now it has spread through her body…she was being treated for muscle problems and found out it was cancer too late it is extremely heartbreaking she has 4 young kids and is only 35 years old.
it is always being safe than sorry its better to have these tests done and know for sure rather than leaving to chance
I will keep u posted my breast clinic apointment is on wednesday now so ld just like to have it over and done with now…also ive found another change in my left breast…I couldnt actually call it a lump its more like the tip of a pencil and that wasnt there last week…I dunno its probly nothing just glad my apointment has come thru tho
big hugs xxx keep me posted xxxx
so my breast clinic apointment went good just lumpy breast tissue…
but ive been reffered to a gyn oncologist about the mass on ovary its 8cm solid/cystic and more than likely I will need ope surgery to remove it -( cant have usual one over adheisions)
I have an mri on tuesday and had the ca125 blood test on monday all results back on 15 th wont lie Im extremely nervous and this doesnt seem real it doesnt feel like its happening to me then all of a sudden I panic
if anyone has any info experience witb this could you please share it with me
the waiting is the hardest part
I have 3 young boys and I just feel scared right now
how did ur apointments go ruby1?
thanks ruby for ur reply…im glad ur not overly worried about ur apointment I hope you will get good news xxx
waiting is the hardest…I’ll just focus on having mri out of the way on tuesday then the results the following monday…the kids keep me busy lol so just love this 2 weeks were over tbh
ya ruby I know what u mean with pushy friends lol but there right always better having all these tests done xxx
I ended up telling my parents the other day it kinda took alot of worry away as I was constantly thinking about them not knowing and I just needed to talk to someone and now it doesnt feel lije I have this big secret from them
right now I feel like all this worry and could still be nothing plz god…so I still havent told anyone else…
thanks for ur reply it means so much that u are listening to me xxxxx
