@tishie58 I understand the fear and I felt that during the process of gynecological exams, a D & C, and then the pathology report that told me I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. However, here is something that can be reassuring. Radiologists who read CTs and ultrasounds need to use the words « suspicious for » because it alerts the referring physician that it « could » be cancer. « Suspicious for » isn’t a diagnosis. It’s a supposition that what is found should be follow up on. My husband is a pathologist (now retired) who explained this to me.

I hope that the above can be reassuring. Your CT scan is suspicious for cancer. Or it may not be cancer. Ask yourself this question - what if isn’t cancer? Then your doctors must keep following up to figure out what is going on and how to treat this ongoing pain.

I had repeated UTIs 25 years ago. Then I had a fever. Repeated doses of antibiotics worked while I was taking them but once I finished the course of antibiotics the symptoms returned. I was diagnosed with a huge kidney stone that was was infect and was lodged in the upper part of my left kidney. This isn’t to say that your symptoms are those of kidney stones although I’m thinking your doctor was looking for that.

Referrals sometimes can take time. If you don’t hear back in a few days I recommend that you call the gynecologist’s office and press for an appointment very soon. Will you do that?
