The Gremlin

The good news is I'm not going to have to wait long for my results.

The bad news is, that's because they found something suspicious.

My doctor rang last night to tell me that the ultrasound showed a mass on my ovary that they need to investiagte. They think it is a dermoid cyst - a disgusting sounding thing that can grow its own hair and teeth! I've nicknamed it the gremlin. There is a very small chance it could be cancerous which means I get to skip the waiting lists and have an appointment with a consultant next Thursday.

To be honest, as silly as it may sound, this result has actually made me happier. It means I get seen quicker and that someone is now actually paying attention and can hopfeully help me. Of course I am a bit scared too. Not so much about the cancer possibility as I think this is highly unlikely, but that they may have to remove the cyst and possibly my ovary as well.

I am trying to stop my mind going into overdrive and worrying about all the possibilities.

Just taking baby steps (irony intended!) instead.
