Hello everyone,
I want to start by apologizing for the delayed response to everyone’s questions. The past few days have been nothing short of a whirlwind. It all began last week Monday(8/25)when I started experiencing some discomfort on my right side. Little did I know, this would kick off an unexpected health journey.
At first, I didn’t think too much of it. I’ve had similar pains before, and medical professionals often attributed it to my irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or the occasional bladder infection. Typically, I’d be sent home with a laxative or a round of antibiotics. However, this time around, things took a turn for the worse, and by Thursday(8/31), I was in excruciating pain. It had become so intense that I could barely walk.
In my desperation, I decided to seek medical attention and headed to Kaiser urgent care. The doctor there wasted no time and ordered a battery of tests, including a CT scan, an external and internal ultrasound.
My urine sample showed no signs of infection. To my surprise, they discovered a 7cm cyst in my fallopian tube. Additionally, my potassium levels were dangerously low. However, since there was no gynecologist on staff, the doctor sent the images to a specialist to seek a second opinion.
The gynecologist’s initial assessment was that it seemed like a typical cyst. He suggested painkillers and potassium supplements. They assured me they would follow up and schedule an appointment soon. Following this advice, I went home to rest and expected to be back at work on Tuesday (9/5) like they said.
The pain didn’t subside. In fact, it got worse despite the painkillers, which were essentially narcotics or opioids. By Sunday(9/3), I found myself unable to walk upright. This prompted me to go to the outpatient Emergency Room at Rancho Springs Hospital, where they had two gynecologists on staff.
After conducting fresh scans and more tests, my urine sample showed infection and the gynecologists had a different perspective. They believed that what was initially thought to be a cyst might actually be a mass and my right ovary is dying. To be thorough, they even conducted blood tests for cancer markers. While the cancer markers came back negative, they stressed that cancer couldn’t be ruled out entirely until a surgical procedure was performed to remove the cyst/mass and the ovary.
So, here I am, in a state of uncertainty, waiting for the doctor to make a decision on when the surgery will happen. I have an upcoming appointment on Tuesday (9/12), which will be pivotal in planning for the surgery. In the meantime, I am aiming to return to work on Friday, but the road ahead remains filled with questions and challenges.
This unexpected health journey has certainly been a rollercoaster, and it’s a stark reminder of how quickly life can change. I’ll be sure to keep you all updated on my progress as I navigate this uncertain path. Your support and understanding mean the world to me during this challenging time.
Thank you for your patience and well-wishes as I face this chapter in my life.
Positive vibration is always the best choice.
Sincerely,
Sharon

Thank you for the update. I pray that the Almighty heal u completely. I went through a similar situation last year. It was draining both emotionally and physically. My doctor suspects the same is happening again. I literally just got back from my doctor’s appointment. :(. I’m seriously considering a hysterectomy.
In the end it will all work out for the both of us. God willing.

Sharon. All the Worth-warriors are praying for you. You got this girl…
I will however suggest that you look into Mannatech products such as Plus (for endocrine system), ambrotose complex, and GI-probalance for the IBS. Try it for at least 3 months. If it does not change anything for you, you can claim your money back. They have a 180day customer satisfaction guarantee on their products.
There are hundreds of thousands of people who have great testimonies after using Mannatech products.
You don’t even have to buy from me, as Mannatech is a US company, based in Texas, and listed on Nasdec as Emtex.
Please my dear. I don’t make any money saying this….
Mannatech can help your body to get all the nutrients needed to fight all diseases and illnesses.
I have lost 21kgs in 4 months on their products.

Hi Sharon it sounds serious.Consider the surgery to be sure of what is actually happening. Rest and sleep to conserve your energy for the road ahead.Take vitamins and minerals within reason and try to eat healthy.Prayer is a powerful tool to hold onto.From a concerned nurse in Jozi

Hi get well soon love.
Good afternoon Sharon, my name is Colleen ,always follow you. Praying for a speedy recovery. I like to share with you,my daughter had the same problem, every month went to doctors for nearly a year and the pain got worst. She had just returned from being in Sweden and within in 24 hours she was rush to hospital. They then discovered she had a cyst the size of a tennis ball on her ovary, emergency operation was done. Damage to the ovary and had to reconstruct the ovary. Then they also discovered she has stage 4 endometriosis and IBS. This was a few years ago she was in her twenties, she went through so much operations every year and lots of pain and doctors advise she never be able to have children. Through the grace of God she was blessed with two beautiful daughters 🙏🙏. She still battles endometriosis and IBS. Please don’t wait to long for doctors to sort. Praying for you. 🙏🙏🙏
Sterkte! 🙏#GODfirst
I trust the upcoming operation will be successful and you will have a speedy recovery. We keep you in our prayers. Strongz Sharon. 🙏🙏

Hi Sharon…keeping you in my prayers. Father God tonight I pray healing upon Sharon life.Get well soon
I wish you a full recovery, Sharon. God is our Jehovah Rapha – The Lord that Healeth thee. Your Faith is stronger than your fear. Big hugs 🤗🌸🤗
Hi Sharon I know all will be good. Sometimes God jus need one to stop and take stock of where our journey with Him is going or He just need us to stand so that He can tell us something or give us an answer to something which we actually asked Him about but we have not been quiet enough to receive his answer, so therefore He needs to put something there to make us stop and listen. Strongs and dont be in too much of a hurry to get back to work. Remember God is in Control.
