Help understanding blood results and tests please

hi a family member has been told she has free fluid in the pouch of Douglas from an ultrasound that then generated a hysterscopy with biopsy, smear and blood test last Monday, she received a call the following day to book her in for a polyp removal 4 days later, on day of the polyp removal she received a call asking her to go in for an urgent CT scan, she couldnt make it that day due to the polyp procedure, which unfortunately was unsuccessful due to her already horrific bleeding, and booked for the Sunday for the ct scan , she received a letter yesterday stating the finding of the free fluid in the pouch of Douglas and that due to high Cea and ca125 bloods which one of these were reading 246? And this is why a ct scan was requested , we've heard nothing since as yet but we are now worried , can someone tell me if these results are of concern? Many thanks in advance

  • My results from a ct colonoscopy were given in a phone call from the colorectal clinic within a couple of weeks they told me they had found complex ovarian cysts and they referred me to gynaecology oncology on the two week wait . They sent me for mri and ultrasounds, bloods. I am sorry to hear that your aunt has severe bleeding.

    They need to complete the tests and bloods to give the full picture before they can tell you what they need to do, waiting for the results is awful as your aunt is in the system it should not be too long before she hears. 
    you can speak to the gynaecology secretary l found them really helpful, they contacted the surgeon for me and gave me the reply, much easier than trying to get information from my doctors surgery. They do understand that you are really anxious to get your results but may be able to give you a timeframe, and where you are in the process. 
    take care

  • Hi thankyou for your reply My aunt received a telephone this morning from The hospital saying that they are going to cancel the rescheduled appointment for her polyp removal and now want her in the hospital this Monday morning for a discussion, obviously we are now really concerned Jane x
  • I hope you have your results on Monday and get to know what is happening, maybe she needs further surgery that would make removal of polyps just an extra unneeded procedure to go through. A hysterectomy may be the answer and solve the bleeding l had one at 37. And was a different person afterwards. It relieved my heavy bleeding. 
    l had an appointment sent to me for one week's time out of the blue l was not sure where the appointment was for, two days later they cancelled it , The following week l received another appointment for six weeks time at the breast clinic, this one l had been expecting. The communication goes haywire sometimes when the written instructions are hard to read. The appointments dept is not attached to the clinic as it used to be . 
    l hope you have good news on Monday.

    take care and try to relax over the weekend.
