When The Doctor Comes In After A Test

Today I was scheduled for a sonogram my GYN doctor recommended to rule out any other problems with my uterous from my last visit.  My pap smear and polyp pathology came back benign or negative.  A relief for sure.  As I was waiting all ages of women were there to have a sonogram.  I felt like I was in a club for women's issues, there to eliminate any doubts perhaps each of us was feeling.

The technician called me in, asked me to void my bladder and undress for the sonogram.  She was a nice lady and proceeded to start the sonogram.  First up vaginal pictures.  At this time I asked her if I was to see the doctor after and she replied she usually sends them home unless there was something the doctor needed to see then and there.  Ok, no problem, that was fine.  I could wait to hear the results later.

The technician spent about 10 minutes looking and printing out pictures for the doctor.  She had a little trouble looking at one of my ovaries and needed to perform a sonogram through the stomach.  Once she finished she explained she was having trouble seeing the ovary and wanted the doctor to review the pictures while I was still here.  So I sat on the table that felt like forever before the technician and doctor came back in. 

My uterine lining was a little thick and the doctor recommended a D&C.  But apparently one of my ovaries had a cyst or fibroid on it.  Performing the sonogram through the stomach while the doctor was there and then confirming through vaginally with pictures.  My doctor started recommending a ovarian oncologist.  This alarmed me, but the doctor assured me that she could perform the ovary removal.  The recommendation came because if it was cancer the right doctor could do everything possible then and there. 

I understood what she was saying but it seems to me doctors, doctors, doctors and more doctors.  We discussed bloodwork and a ovary MRI to determine whether an oncologist specialist was necessary.  I now have something else to worry about and next week will be meeting with my oncologist for Zometa and Falsodex treatments.  Oh boy!
