No One Understands

Hello, I am 38 years old, I always had problems with my period I had Polycystic ovary since I was younger. I tried with a lot of treatment and I was good. I always had 2 ultrasounds per year, everything looks good, but, for 2 years I did not do it.

Difficult symptoms post-surgery

Suddenly, I was having pain when I moved and I told my mom that I hurt myself. So I visit the doctor and told me that I had Ovarian cancer and I need emergency surgery. My mom and aunt helped me to find another doctor and told me it is a benign tumor. After 22 days, I had the surgery, and then the results confirmed it was a benign tumor.

I don't have kids and that surgery affected me a lot. The treatment after that made me bleed every single day for 4 months and the doctor told me it's fine and normal. I found another doctor she told me it's not normal and she found that I have Uterine fibroids and a blood cyst in my only ovary.

The pain takes an emotional toll

I looked and found a new doctor, but for the first treatment I have now all of this. I suffer depression and at the beginning I used to cry every single day because I can not have babies. Now, I don't cry a lot but I cried. I have good days and bad days. I have pain in my body sometimes, and I feel sad and cry. I am not sure it is normal, but I feel no one understand me. I used to be stronger about this topic and the possibility that I can not have kids, but now I cry about this topic. It's hard.
