My Ovarian cancer story - I am 38 years old - I was firstly having problems with heavy bleeding and excruciating period pains during 2012 during that time I would also have bloating and indigestion problems. I visited my G.P who referred me to the ENT department to have a Gastroscopy to have a look at my stomach and everything else inside. Once this was done results showed everything was fine. I then was referred to the scan department to have a ultrasound scan for my pelvis and the results showed that there were 2 cyst on each side of the ovaries one which was 10cms and the other only 2cms. Anyway after the scan was done. The G.P doctor then referred me to the Gynaecologist Department after attending the appointment I was told by the consultant that I needed to have further tests such as MRI scan, blood test (CA125). Once both were done I was told the Cyst looks Benign but my blood test is on the high side (127) the doctor explained to me that the next procedure would be to get a laparoscopy because one of my cyst were very big (10cms) and said it needs to be removed surgically. I agreed to go ahead with operation which was booked for 16th October 2014 after the operation I was off from work for a total of 6 weeks, I healed really well my biopsy results had come through and I was booked for an post operation appointment. I went to my appointment with my husband but he had to pick up kids from school.The school is right next to the hospital. So he dropped me off and said he will meet me back once he has picked up kids. Anyway I went to my appointment to see the consultant she checked me and then told me that my biopsy results have comeback and the results show I have borderline serous cystadenoma so it's all fine and you can go. So I was happy and I was about to leave the room when the consultant got a call from the oncologist doctor asking me to wait. While the consultant was still chatting to the other doctor I waited in the room wondering to myself what was going on I was confused ! then my consultant had finished talking said to me to sit down and told me she had some bad news I was shocked she said I had stage 1c Ovarian Cancer -Diagnosed with O/C 11th December 2014....at this point I was just so confused at one point she said everything was fine and the next this. I was crying and she asked if I needed to call anyway to be with me I then called my husband and told him the bad news. He was devastated and confused, he said to the consultant it's all got to be a mistake. I wanted more clarification it did not make sense to me so I was booked for another appointment with the Oncologist doctor anyway a week later when attending the appointment the doctor said during the laparoscopy surgery one of my cyst ruptured and when pathology looked at my biopsy they found abnormal cells. I was totally devastated and the only thing on my mind was I was going to die. The oncologist doctor said that I had 2 options 1. Being monitored every 3 months 2. Full Abnormal Hysterectomy. I was very confused and wanted this disease to just to go away. I have three beautiful children so I did not want anymore children my family is complete. I chose to have the Hysterectomy surgery was booked for January 2015 after the surgery I felt like crap it was a nightmare I was so much in pain and was constipated badly so much gas in my stomach after 6 weeks of these problems I had an appointment to see the Oncologist doctor I was very nervous and was scared of what might be the results ...... The doctor was smiling at me so I thought maybe some good news -? Doctor told me there is no evidence of disease and no evidence of borderline too everything is fine and said I just need to check you over and then discharge me. I was so relieved and so was my family. Throughout my journey whilst being diagnosed with this disease I was supported by my Family and God
🙏Never stop believing in God 🙏
I hope all the women which are going through this ..your disease gets cured..God listens to your prayers don't give up always have faith in God. God will make everything better🙏
