Hi everyone!
For the people that know me and for the ones that don’t and have just learned of me through here hi! ✨
After a long time of not knowing what was wrong with me and continuously looking into possible reasoning from gastroenterology, to endocrinology, my gallbladder removal (as a factor, 2 yrs ago). I advocated for myself about three weeks ago, I had terrible pain on my lower left ovarian site. A nurse and provider tried to say that it was due to “ovulation pain” also known as “Mittelschmerz” = pain or discomfort that some women experience in the lower abdomen during ovulation. I knew something was wrong when I couldn’t go into work that day from the pain that I experienced. After a back and forth conversation with the nurse and the provider I finally received the ultrasound order that I was requesting-to look into what was going on. I attended that appointment August 1st, 2025. To my surprise (and theirs), I was informed that I have two masses/cysts in my left side ovarian site one of them measuring 8cm and the other measuring 14cm (bigger than a baby’s head is what I was told for size reference). Due to the sizing I was referred to be seen by an oncologist and will 100% need surgery to have these removed. There is a higher risk for torsion (twisting of the ovary that could lead to decreased blood flow, and loss of ovary) and/or rupture. My appointment with oncology is not until September 11th; I have had increased discomfort, sharp pain, bloating, nausea but not enough to the point of going to the emergency room. I am a full-time employee and a student in an accelerated nursing program and I have always managed to figure things out except for this. Due to the circumstances, needing time off, payments for medical services, and surgery. I am asking for some of your help, if you’re not able to help financially please help by sharing. All is greatly appreciated.
A dollar, two dollars, any amount and every amount is greatly appreciated!
Thank you, thank you! All the love ♥️
