Woman thought she had gained weight, but it was actually a watermelon-sized cyst ‘The nurses said they hadn’t seen anything like it'
‘My whole life was flashing before my eyes,’ recalls 44-year-old Jayde Martin.
However, when she began to feel pain so excruciating that she feared her appendix had burst, she went to the doctors.‘My whole life revolves around being able to use my right hand – I ride horses and I’m quite active but I went from doing loads of stuff to nothing,’ says Jayde, from Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.
‘Then in March I had a couple of drinks with the girls after work and the next day I felt really, really gassy and bloated. Jayde went to the hospital the following morning where she had a CT scan that revealed a giant ovarian cyst was taking up the majority of her abdomen. Surgeons ended up finding a second cyst on her right ovary and opted to perform a full hysterectomy and appendix removal to ensure all abnormal cells were removed.
