Going in circles

Ca 125 is 64. Iron deficiency. I had blood in my stool and have a lump in my vulvar. All I can think is I have cancer everywhere. I can't stop freaking out

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear that you are feeling worried about your health.

    Having tests and waiting for the results can be incredibly stressful.

    The level of the CA125 test in your blood can rise for many reasons including endometriosis, ovarian cysts and some ovarian cancers. The charity Target Ovarian has more information about this test here

    Try not to let your mind run away with you if you possibly can. The other symptoms such as the lump in your vulva and blood in your stool may not be related at all but hopefully all your different symptoms are being investigated.

    You may find the information helpful on our website about asking questions to your doctor. Have a look here

    I do hope that you know more about your situation soon.

    If at any stage you want to ring and chat through any of this with one of the nurses then you are more then welcome to do so. Our number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    All the Best,

    Catherine
