Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 I am a worry wart and just being diagnosed with a grapefruit sized fibroad in my uterus. I just turned 40 and my doctor, during my physical, felt what he described as a " large fibroid size of grapefruit on upper R pole of uterus " . What I am worried about and I know will go crazy with worry until my ultrasound appt in 3 weeks - is that my symptoms are heavy periods, bloating and chronic need to pee. These are also signs of ovarian cancer and I am freaked about this possibility. He is so sure that it is a fibroid that he wasn't going to even send me for a sonogram but was going to take the watch and wait approach and I requested an ultrasound. He he being too lax or am I being over-sensitive here? Any positive feedback would be greatly appreciated to lessen my worry that it could be ovarian cancer. My mind is good at making me see the worst in situations. in Vancouver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
