Hi I’ve had ovarian cysts I’ve been waiting to have them removed the doctor sent me for vaginal scan then had a ct scan it’s showed fluid in my tummy I’m going for c-a125 blood test I’m sooo worried I had cervical cancer several years ago I had full hysterectomy but left my ovaries however the chemo and radio frazzled my ovaries and I went into early menopause I’m so worrying any advice would be great thanks 

  • Hello and thank you for your post.

    I am sorry to hear about your situation and I can appreciate your worry that this could be connected to the cancer you had a few years ago.  However, this is not necessarily going to be the case and it is possible that the cysts and fluid may have nothing to do with cancer.

    Waiting for the surgery and then the results may be a difficult time for you. So, I hope you have support. You may also find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Caroline
