Hi everyone, I have a few questions .. I have pain, extreme bloating, never hungry, exhausted and losing weight. It hurts my lower tummy region to sit and bend over straight down.. bad bad stabbing pains. I had an ultrasound and a transvag ultra sound. It showed small masses in both ovaries. There was a complex mass with thin septal calcification and some with calcification in my right ovary a cystic neoplasm can not be ruled out ... there was the same in my left but with some vascularity and calcification of the cyst walls.. I was scheduled for an MRI a week later, with and without contrast. I waited for results and had to call the office. Turns out my doctor is not on my insurance at this time, I had to see a nurse/ midwife .. it took a week to get in .. she had me come in .. she did not even know I had an MRI.. I was so angry .. then she said not to worry my ca125 was at 8.. then she read my MRI.. it said the left ovary mass contains multiple cysts and surrounding ovarian tissue enhances following contrast administration. Multicystic left adnexal mass benign and malignant etiologies are possible follow up is RECOMMENDED.. they had it capitalized. The mass has grown twice the size in a week.. it is still small. 3.2 3.0 3.0 then it said my right adnexa appears normal????? What??? Anyway the nurse midwife says whoa.. I asked her what a follow up would be, she had no idea.. she said she better talk to the dr and get back to me . They made me an appointment with the dr because she should be back on our insurance by the 19th.. my bladder is also moderately distended which explains why I have to pee all the time and may explain the bought I had for almost a week ( no bladder infection) with bladder pain then the feeling my bladder was trying to come out .. by the time they could get me in for a bladder pressure test, I was feeling better (pain wise) but still have pressure. I didn't want to spend the extra $ 200.00.. I have heard nothing from them, that was over a week ago.. my stomach gets so bloated I am getting stretch marks. Most days I hardly eat anything, I am very wiped out. Then there are days I feel a bit better and can get stuff done, then it's back to feeling sick and bloated. Should I get copies of my tests and just go see an gyno/onc? I'm very uneasy about what is going on. Thank you for any help you can offer .

I second Cjbloomq. Get all your test results, and find a good obgyn oncologist, who specializes and even better make sure they are on your insurance plan. Ask a lot of questions, tell them every detail. It's your body and you need to get on it now. Best of everything. Get a second opinion.

Do a biopsy and clear ur mind whether masses are cancer or benign ca 125 is in range but bloated and other symptoms sre are not good

Thank you. My dr has not given me a referral, I see her later today. I have not been able to get a return call from their office since I have asked for one . I feel it is because she is also a surgeon and wants to do any procedures that are needed. I will find out today, My husband is going to the appointment with me. Thank you for your reply.

Yes, most definitely take charge of this and find a gyn/onc. Will you need an official referral? If so ask your provider for one and they should fax all test results to the specialist. Don't be afraid of what anyone thinks. It's your body, your life. Best of luck as you do what you have to do to get to the bottom of this. You can do this!

Hi guys, sorry I have not gotten back on here .. I ended up with a bad concussion. I finally got in with an gynecologist / oncologist .. he talked to me. Gave me a pelvic exam? Said he did not feel anything.. my cysts are small. Wants another ultrasound in November.. mind you I’ve met my $6,000 deductible this year .. I wanted to get things taken care of if need be this year.. he said just because my reports said “can not rule out malignancy”, didn’t mean they need to come out. He said,”I am not even pre menopausal yet. He is not concerned” . He asked if I had the reports sent to my home. I said yes, he said “this is why we are in this predicament”... What??? Predicament??? With all the cancer in my family and family members not being diagnosed until stage 4.. I’d rather not go through that .. why would he think a pelvic exam can tell more than a ultrasound and mri? I have an appt with a new gynecologist on Friday to get a second opinion .. I’ve read that ca125 is low in early stages of ovarian cancer and in some mucus types of cancerous cysts .. am I just over sensitive here???
