/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

So just found out that I might have ovarian cancer but don't get my results till tomorrow. Can we just have a cute cosplay thread to keep me from freaking out till then.

It's either that or cancer the doctor said, hopefully that. One is no big deal, I just might have to move back my wedding. The other might mean that best case scenario, I never have kids.

Less drama more cute pictures though.

And I'm in a lot of pain either way which sucks.

My doctor told me the weird sensations in my right side could either be MS or a tumor or some other kind of lesion on my nervous system.
Got two MRIs of my head and neck, both clean, still don't know what it is.
I was super scared that I might have cancer or need brain surgery, but the best thing that calmed me down was to shoot hoops. Get some exercise doing something you enjoy.

That's basically what I've been trying to do. Took some retail therapy today but now that the sun is down and it's too late to go anywhere, I can't get out of my own head so came to /cgl/ for a distraction.

But I'm so glad your's ended up okay! That sounds really scary!

I don't see many cute things other than my occasional strolls through Peds. I don't take pics of them for confidentiality purposes.

But here's a picture of a white blood cell that I thought was funny.

Also if you have any Q's the docs or nurses weren't able to answer, I'll stick around and tell you what I know. A lot of the time *not knowing* is the scariest part of medicine. Thankfully you'll get more info tomorrow.

>>6762252
Ha. Thanks. I think I'm pretty solid when it comes to questions. I just want to get finding out what this is over with.

This is like the nicest board ever.

I had a similar scare a few years ago - I had an ovarian cyst so large I appeared 6 months pregnant (was 20 x 10cm). Strangely enough, I felt no pain...but I did lose my right ovary when it was removed, because there was pretty much no ovary leftover. I was terrified it would be cancerous, but thankfully not. I'm basically permanently on hormal birth control now, but I've been cyst-free for 4 years now, which is awesome!

I don't have any cosplay photos, so I chose something from my J-fashion file - I hope that's ok.

Best of luck to you. Thankfully, a malignant cyst is way more common than cancer (and it's rare for them to get as big as mine did).

>malignant
I need to go to bed. I meant benign, obviously.

[Anonymous No.6762319]

No cysts here, but I am having another invasive surgery next week, so we can be sickbros together.

[Jezebel !lfueK7pnvc No.6762320]

>>6762313
That is a lovely outfit! I don't mind at all!

That sounds terrifying though! Good that you're healthy for the last 4 years!

But oh god! That's basically what I'm super afraid of. I don't have any family so kids are a big part of my plan for my life and this is going to be devastating if this renders me unable to have kids of my own especially now that I'm getting married. But adoption is always an option so it's not the end of the world, it's just crazy frustrating and upsetting.

The doctor who did my surgery said that if I do want to get pregnant at some point, I can go off the BC and my chances of getting pregnant are still about the same even with one ovary :)
I don't know the specifics, but apparently you still ovulate every cycle even with one, like your body compensates or whatever.

Have another picture~

[RP !!irLdG43K1Dj No.6762381]

Good luck, Jezebel! Let us know how it goes, ok?

[Jezebel !lfueK7pnvc No.6762403]

>>6762372
Really?! Just you saying that is making me feel crazy better! You are like my favorite person right now!

>>6762381
Will do since I assume this thread will probably be around still since stuff doesn't really die that quick on /cgl/ :)


Also this whole thread is just the best. I've never even seen like most of these!

If it helps any even if it is ovarian cancer it'll be hard but beatable. Both my aunt and my mom had ovarian cancer at like stage 4 and they are both cancer free and living normally now.

[Da0 !g1USWnb3jM No.6762430]

Wishing you best of luck, jezebel.

One of my personals faves that I saw at Sakura con

[aurelius No.6762508]

Were you getting pap smears every year? Every 3?

The reason I ask is because I just had to go get an odd pap smear result inspected and the obgyn basically told me that for younger people it takes 7-10 years for precancer cells to go fully malignant. It's usually caught pretty quickly and can be dealt with before it gets bad. I wish you the best.

[Anonymous No.6762511]

I know the pic is not related, but I wish you luck :(

We shall have a party if you're in the clear :)

[aurelius No.6762513]

Also it seems like everybody these days goes through a bout of endometriosis and PCOS isn't even that uncommon. You'll be fine. Even with endometriosis a prescription for birth control will have it cleared up in 6 months. If you have a doctor that isn't putting your mind at ease over your chances of getting cancer (which are slim) you should find a new doctor. There is plenty that can go awry down there without really having any permanent effect on your health if you get it treated.

>Just you saying that is making me feel crazy better!
Yay, I'm glad!
Just make sure you get a PAP every year - they say every 3 now, but since you had issues, it's better to do it yearly. My gyno won't even refill my birth control unless I've had a PAP and a check for more cysts.

And to expand on what >>6762508 said, I had an abnormal PAP...about 2 years ago? Very scary situation, but apparently it's fairly common in 20-somethings (usually a viral infection that clears up) and isn't cause for concern 99.9% of the time.

[Jezebel !lfueK7pnvc No.6763036]

>>6762508
Hah. This one where I found out that something might be wrong was actually my first one and only because I was forced to go by others. I'm terrible about seeing doctors. That's half the reason why I'm so tense about this but only one more hour and I get to find out!

>>6762511
Thanks!

>>6762513
The doctor and fiance have been lovely, I just worry a lot. lol

>>6762716
Woah! Is that the same girl in all your pictures? What's her name so I can stalk her tumblr/blog/whatever" because her style is lovely?

[Jezebel !lfueK7pnvc No.6763200]

So I was asked to update when I found out what it was. Turns out it is cancer but we caught it so early that it should be no more dangerous than if it had been a benign cyst. Thank you so much everyone for all the well wishes and cute pictures!

[Anonymous No.6763219]

Awh honey. I really do hope that you're going to be okay. Best regards~
Here, have this cute mother fucker.

[Anonymous No.6763222]

>>6763200
I'm really sorry to hear about that :( Feel better Ok?

[Anonymous No.6763395]

But it's great that you caught it so early! I'm sure you'll be feeling better very soon, OP.

[Anonymous No.6763593]

>>6763036
I think there may be two girls, but they're all photos from the brand f.i.n.t! Super cute stuff, definitely check them out.

And even though it's cancer, I'm glad you guys caught it early! Best wishes to you!
(and a friendly reminder to all the women: yearly PAPs are what catches these things early!! don't end up like me with one lonely ovary haha)

[RP !!irLdG43K1Dj No.6763642]

Reading this I realised I'm 22 and haven't had my first one.. When I was about 15 I had to go to the doctors for something downstairs related (tampon issue), but I remember the contraption the woman used was painful for a few seconds, so god knows how this will be.. I don't think I ever want to do a smear test, I'm too paranoid of getting a dodgy person doing it.

This thread is going to force me to make an appt with my gyno. I haven't had a normal period in a couple months (I have endometriosis) and I've not had an abnormal pap so she skipped it on my last checkup, but now I feel like I should get it checked. Good luck to OP!

[Anonymous No.6763924]

JEZEBEL ;_;

Good luck

[Jezebel !lfueK7pnvc No.6765568]

Oh my goodness! Thank you all so so so much! This place is the sweetest.

And yes. Ya'll need to get checked. I just got lucky.

[Anonymous No.6768311]

Hope this makes you laugh. :) I had a cancer scare bout two years ago, and cgl kept me laughing and raging while I waited for my results, so I'm glad to see them delivering for you too. PLEASE keep us updated, and I'll send a prayer your way tonight!

[Anonymous No.6770589]

You're an idiot then if you're unwilling to get a possibly life saving screening test based on some fears and a few seconds of pain. Find a doctor you like and trust, the majority of doctors are not dodgy at all and smears are very very routine. No, they aren't comfortable, but if you breathe deeply during them and consciously relax they're better. I'm not sure what country you're in, but here we have nurse-led smear clinics so if you prefer one of the nurses you can get them to do it.
