Worrying times, sick of waiting

Hi first post here. I'm 52 post menopausal (I went through menopause in my 20's) and have been suffering badly with post menopausal bleeding for over a year, when I eventually got my gp to take me seriously I was sent for an ultra sound and a ca125 test, the ca125 test was only 13 which is a good sign but I read my scan report and it says 'left adnexa there is a 57 x 35 x 44 mm cystic lesion which contains internal septa and some papillary projections' which doesn't sound to good!!!

I had an emergency referral which states if I haven't had an appointment by the 10th of June to phone them, I've just called then and was told there's a huge back log and up coming strikes so it could be weeks until my appointment will be booked......this feels insane and is giving me anxiety because I just want to know whats what....does anyone here have any idea how much does it cost to go private and how do you go about it?

Thanks

hi Tess I went private in 2017 to Harley Street for initial consultation and examination and one further consultation. I think it was £250 per session. I then was referred into the NHS system and all my treatment has been NHS since then. Good luck.

Hi Tess74, maybe the Ovacome Support Team (Freephone 0800 008 7054) can guide you on the scan report and who best to approach for a private consultation? Good luck x

Thanks, I did that yesterday, thankfully I didn't need to as the hospital rang me yesterday afternoon and I've now got an appointment for tomorrow so fingers crossed I'll soon know more
