Hi I know exactly how you feel as 3 years ago just as covid broke out I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer on my left side.  My ca125 was 17 and on normal scans they found nothing although I had the pain in my right side? Eventually they did a 3d scan on me & found it. They found I had several adhesions spreading out from it & it took over 4hours to get out, by scraping them off. My biopsies came back positive & I had to have several months of chemo. The operation though was fine, I had to have a full Hysterectomy & both tubes removed.  I found the best thing to do as soon as you come round drink plenty of water & try & sit up as soon as you feel you can.  I was up & walking around the next day. And was out the following day. Take it slow & do not lift anything.  I found the operation I got over but the mental issue of having a cancer  diagnosis took the longest (2 years)to get over. Worrying with every blood test & check if it had actually gone. As covid lockdown came as I had my operation I had no support so it mentally hit me pretty bad.   If you can get support & people to talk to after do so.  I f you have chemo I would advise shaving your hair off before it begins as It is not so traumatic when it starts to go

Do you mind if I ask whether you were post menopausal? My CA125 is low and I have a cyst that needs surgical removal.

Hi

 I am 58 ,

my CA125 is low , but the more I read the results on this test are not very good..

I actually had this cyst 2 years ago but was told it was fine and I would have scans every 4 months , which never happened .

it has now changed with a solid component  and after 2 scan can’t see what it is .

when do you have it removed 

My CA125 is 13 - I Will learn more when I see the consultant in a a couple of days time

Hi, No I don't mind you asking, yes I was postmenopausal for about 4 years. I am now 60.
