Waiting on CT results

I am 29 and have been experiencing excruciating pain during BM's for around a year.  Around December I started bloating out pretty bad and have a day or so a week where I feel extra tired. I am so scared that it is cancer because that is what people say to watch for - pain, bloating, tired and my results come back Tuesday.  Has anyone had these symptoms and it wasnt cancer?

Hi,

Glad to hear you got some good news. I agree with the others on next week and the follow-up appointment. Good time to ask questions and hopefully build some trust with this Health Care provider.

Take care,

Mary

I am truly happy... Just nervous because my pelvic glands were swollen again today and I had the same severe pain in my abdomen.  I am 90% at ease - just still feeling sick.  Wondering what it could be.

No and it looks as though you don't have ovarian cancer.  Be happy!

I just heard back from the nurse that there wasnt anything unusual about the CT scan... but I still need to see the doctor for a follow up Wednesday.  Has anyone been told its o.k. over the phone and then told differently at the visit?

Hi there.  I very much had the same symptoms - nausea, bloating (looked 5 months pregnant and couldn't fit into clothes), pain all over abdomen, tired, leg pain, urinary troubles, BM troubles and gas.  I am now 4 weeks post op from having a grapefruit sized fluid filled cyst and my right ovary and tube removed.  Life is good again.  I went through the worry like you too and was much relaxed by the time I had surgery after learning from the ladies here.  Good luck and I am sure all will be fine.

Hugs,
Trudie

I had the same symptoms....started in around December - January, bloating, feeling of heaviness in my abdomen, felt like I was in my 4th month of pregnancy..also vague pelvic pain in extending into groin and very increased constipation....so after an ultrasound determined there was a small ovarian cyst and a small fibroid....I had a laparoscopy almost 3 weeks ago....gyn removed the fibroid which was sticking up on the backside of my uterus...very much explained alot of my symptoms, the "cyst" turned to be a massive collection of adhesions (a cyst that probably burst)...so that explains the rest of my symptoms... adhesions were lysed.... so now 3 weeks post all my pre-op symptoms have subsided....  so the bottom line is, it could be anything...it is easy to think the worst (and I did)....and the waiting is the worst part....so now 2 more days for you then maybe your mind will be put at ease...so just relax, take a deep breath and think positive thoughts....and let us know...

Hi , your symptoms could be due to many things , most cysts as Colleen says are benign (95%) . Lots of women have problems that are due to other gynaecological things that aren,t cancer . Try not to worry too much because the odds are in your favour .

Take care and let us know how you get on . Good luck , Angie

Many women on here have had the same symptoms as you have and it has not been cancer. I am sure that they will respond to your posting.  Both to you and to Sharon2714, hang in there waiting for your results, which I know is incredibly hard, and try to remember that most cysts are benign.  Let us know when you get some answers.

PS: I had all your symptoms and went to the ER in June, diagnosed with appendicitis and when they operated, found out that in addition to the appendix, I also had a scarred and blocked intestine. Performed surgery to remove it.  Now I am home recuperating and still have to go see the doctor for my cysts.  

Let us know!
