I went to the GP end of June with irregular and prolonged bleeding and wwas referred for a 2 week referral. That resulted in an ultrasound and hystersocpy where they told me I had polyps, womb lining of 14.9 mm and an unidentified adnexal mass in the right hand side. So I was sent for blood tests for tumour markers, MRI and CT scan of pelvic cavity and pancreas.

Outcome from all of this and decision from MDT - was fibroids, a couple of benign looking cysts on each ovary of between 2cm and 5.5cm each. Nothing of any concern but I was to repeat the blood tests in 6 weeks and have a further womb biopsy and ultrasound scan in 6 months to check on the cysts.

I then had an apppointment through for the removal of the fibroids this week - subsequently cancelled and pushed back to Feb. And a letter requesting further blood tests as my CA19.9 was still elevated in Sept and that I was now also being discussed in the Upper GI MDT meetings

December blood tests show the CA19.9 has gone up again and I'm to have another MRI within 2 weeks. My question is - is CA19.9 always linked to the pancreas or can it be due to the cysts? I was quite relaxed about it all, especially since I've been feeling a lot better recently compared to when I first saw my GP but now they've started talking about the pancreas or gall bladder I am so so worried
