Ultrasound Shows Fibroid In Ovaries And Shadow. Have Back Pain. What Can It Be?
Hi, I have today been told by my GP that a recent ultrasound I had completed, has come back and shows a fibroid on my ovaries and a shadow, as I am suffering severe back pain today and went to see her, she has advised I will be having a rescan within 2 weeks. Should I be worries, could this mean cancer?, I have had 2 children, and am 29 years old.Thanks Claire
