Hi guys. I've had a very rough few months and have had a lot of tests. Since February I've had: lots of blood work, chest x-ray, MRI of the brain, more blood work which showed severe iron deficiency, colonoscopy, endoscopy, pap smear, and today a transvaginal ultrasound.
So far everything has come back relatively normal other than the anemia.
I've had a lot of lower abdominal pain lately, near my hips and shooting pains on the left side. I also get groin pain and lower back pain that goes down my legs. I've been told in the past that I have ovarian cysts. The last time they told me that was in November when I had a miscarriage. They didn't suggest doing anything about them though.
When I had my ultrasound earlier, I was looking at the screen and the tech was measuring my ovaries and what I'm assuming are cysts. What scared me is she measured two small round white things that were inside the cysts, like on the edge of it. I googled (ugh) and saw a few images that looked similar and they ALL said ovarian cancer. Now I'm just feeling so hopeless and doomed. The tech didn't say anything other than "the doctor will take a look and you should get the results in the next couple of days". The end.
What in the world were those white things?! Everything I've read says if it shows black on an ultrasound, it's nothing to worry about. When it mentions solid or white, it doesn't sound good at all.
I've been feeling so bad and unwell lately, I'm sure that there is something horrible going on. I can't accept that a person can feel this way and not have something scary going on.
