Hello Jay1010 and thanks for posting, 

I am sorry to learn about your aunt and can understand that having tests done can create a lot of uncertainty and stress.

I am not sure exactly when your aunt will be told about the CT scan results, but as she has been seen on the 2 week wait pathway for suspected cancer,  I would have thought she should find out quite soon, by the end of next week or beforehand.

The free fluid in the pouch of Douglas and the raised Ca125 might be connected but they don't have to be - this probably depends on how much fluid there is. As you know raised CA 125 levels in the blood aren't only caused by cancer and small amounts of fluid in the pouch of Douglas can be normal, but it sounds like overall with the bleeding, polyp and possible other things we don't know about, the doctors need more detail from the CT scan to be sure what is the matter. 

I expect these CT scan results will give the doctors a better picture and hopefully you will know more soon, I am not sure that you can find out much else for the moment.  Waiting is seldom easy but try and keep an open mind for now until you know what the doctors think. 

Give us a call if you want to talk anything over,  our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are around from 9-5, weekdays. 

Best wishes,

Julia

Hi not sure if anybody would know but as my auntie has to go into hospital for a discussion this coming Monday as requested by the hospital yesterday and knowing hospitals are strict with only the patient attending appointments, are they allowing patients to take another person with then into these discussion appointments? As feel that she shouldn't be going in on her own

thankyou

Hi Jane, 

Our nurses won't be back in the office until Monday but if you or your auntie get in touch with the hospital they should be able to let you know what their rules are about having someone in attendance.

I hope you're able to get some answers and wish your auntie all the best with her appointment.

If you or your auntie would like to speak with one of our nurses they will be available from 9a.m on Monday on 0808 800 4040 .

Kind regards,
