I was referred to Hainault for a scan for my pelvis. After three months of waiting I finally had my scan and it turned out that I had a tumor on my ovary the size of a tangerine.

I dread to think what could have happened if my tumor had been malignant but the anxiety took a toll on my mental and physical health with my blood pressure shooting up.
