Ovarian Cancer??

Hi,

My dr found a cyst on or in my ovary last year in october. it didn't get any better with the birth control pill. only 2cm. but they weren't sure if it's on my ovary or fallopian tube (im very confused)
so on and off i've been having pain on my right side. the dr finally scheduled a laproscapy and take out or do whatever next week. last week i had sirious abdominal pain and dirrehea and lower right pain in the front and back, to the point where i can barely walk and went to the er. they gave me morphine and told me i probably just had a stomach virus. i am fallowing up with my dr today. i looked up these symptoms and it sounds like ovarian cancer. still feeling pain front and back side. what do i do? they are not budging and i'm very uncomfortable.

Wow, you just explained what I've been feeling too! I don't have insurance to be checked though and I've had those problems for at least 2 years now. I also just had surgery not long ago (gallbladder removal) so I'm having all different sorts of pains.

I'd say go back and see your doctor. Tell him/her everything you've been feeling and don't be a pushover. Tell them you want something done now. Whether its tests/surgery or at least give you some pain pills to take home until your scheduled surgery apt.

Best of luck and wishes!

It sounds like Ovarian Cancer. My mom had a cyst on her right side and they took out the Fallopian tube. It could be non-cancerous so don't loose hope yet. I wish you the best of luck! :)

Sound like, you might have a Ovarian Cancer. Best things for you ask your doctor. They might have to remove the ovarian, if this necessary.

you did not say how old yopu are - but ovarian cancer can/does usually show up in the mid 20 to the mid 30's. I am lost as to why your doctor did not have you do an u/s and or an MRI before scheduling surgery or now that you are having pain. It honestly sounds like your cyst burst (which would point to that it is most likely NOT ovarian cancer) . When i have had cyst burst i was unable to go to work or school for days - and was also give heavy duity drugs like you were. a 2cm cyst is actually not that large (2.5 cm = 1 inch for ref) but the effects from them on your GI track etc can be very large. You could also ask your doctor for a CA-125 to help setting your mind and a repeat u/s as if the cyst burst they would be able to see that and the CA-125 is an indicator (the only one that we have at this point) for OC. good luck and try to relax.
