I know this board is colon related, but my topic is half relevant I guess!
After losing my mum to bowel cancer, and my 32 yo brother having recovered from stage 3 colon cancer, we have been genetically tested and found I too have lynch syndrome.
I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy last week and both came back clear, I was very relieved!
In preparation for my preventative hysterectomy, I had an ultrasound and discovered a 9cm cyst on my right ovary. I have long had cysts, but not one this big. I've had no symptoms at all, no pain. The gyno didn't seem too bothered until I informed him that yes, I do have 1 in 10 chance of ovarian cancer. Then he went into action, booked me into a ct scan, and had a C25 blood test etc. he said he was confident that it is a cyst, but wanted to take precautions.
Looks like my hysterectomy has been pulled forward to January now too, as he and I just want it all out.
I haveto wait until Atleast Wednesday for the blood results, and it's killing me! I'm so worried
I am 36 with a hubby and 2 young children so obviously I can't stop thinking about them.Has anyone else had an ovarian cyst this big?
How do u cope with the anxious wait for news?
Thank you!
