My pelvis scan came back borderline, but the internal examination said borderline refer to doctor, my cancer blood test was 35.5. I am seeing the consultant next week if I have cancer does it mean it will be stage 1 if the tests are borderline.

Hello Twizzel and thank you for posting
It can be stressful and cause anxiety waiting for tests and test results.
I think you are referring to a borderline ovarian tumour. If I have got this wrong please get back to us.
If a borderline ovarian tumour is found, it means there are abnormal cells that are growing in the tissue that covers the ovary. They are different from ovarian cancer because they do not grow into the supportive tissue of the ovary. Unlike ovarian cancer, they usually grow slowly and in a more controlled way. There is more in-depth information at the hyperlink above.
I hope this reply is useful. Hopefully, you will get more information about your situation at your appointment.
Please come back to us if you have further questions. You can speak with one of our nurses on the helpline between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday and the freephone number to call is 0808 800 4040.
