I had been back and forth to my GP for over a year getting a mis diagnosis of IBS, already had colonoscopy and then referal for endoscopy with Dr Smith. He did examination of stomach area and found sore spot so recommended a CT scan where they then found an 8cm cyst on my ovary. Endoscopy was also carried out to rule anything else out.
