Freaking out ovarian cyst

[Littlechopsxo]

Hi guys! I had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago and was told I have a cyst on my left ovary. I finally got results from my Dr yesterday and he assured me I wasn’t to worry as did the lady who done the ultrasound. He explained its small in size and there are no hard forms suggesting anything sinister and no blood. I literally just got a phone call from my Drs now but it was reception saying I’ve to go in for urgent bloods as they have been directed from who ever done my ultrasound. I am freaking out now and crying, I was under the impression everything was ok. I explained to the reception I have severe health anxiety and I would like to speak to a dr to find out why and she wouldn’t let me. I asked her if it was anything serious and she said “ I’m only reception”. I have to go in Tuesday to get my bloods done but then can’t speak to a dr regarding the results until the 7th of June? I’m so confused and upset. Filled with fear. Does anyone know why all of a sudden I’ve to get these bloods?

Update* I called back and the lady told me it’s a Ca125 blood test basically to test for cancer proteins. I’m so confused as everyone has told me it’s okay but now I’ve to get these blood tests which I only found out about today. Making myself sick with worry.

Years ago I received a phone call off the surgery I was at at the time from an extremely rude receptionist saying that the nurse wanted to see me so I had asked why and got told you will have to speak to her about that which I thought was very rude talking to ill patients like that and like you I was terrified and what I found that upset me was the uncertainty rather than the check up in itself and the very rude receptionist!

The receptionist had no business to frighten you saying that the blood test is for cancer as that test can be used to diagnose lots of other conditions not just cancer but when it comes to health you fear the worst.

Thing is you would have to be very very unlucky for it to show cancer proteins but still it's a worry though with the uncertainty of it all.

That receptionist was very stupid telling you it's a test for cancer and no it isn't it tests for lots of other things rather than just cancer!

Honestly she was so rude basically made me feel stupid for being worried. Now I’m going to be a complete mess until I get results back 😭 xx

Hi I literally got out of hospital 4 days ago& I felt Dr was rude& left me in the dark bout my kidneys as I did some damage when relapsed. She said if I didn't drink so much& lay on floor 2 1/2 days u wouldn't have this issue. I'll never go back there again. I understand what u are saying. Sorry u were treated that way.
