Awaiting an Urgent Ultrasound on Ovaries, Womb, stomach

Good Evening Everyone,

I Posted in another thread a couple of months ago about having a positive FIT test, after having tummy problems, bloated etc. I've had 2 Colonoscopys and they were both clear. 

I have had Night sweats, very bloated stomach, I have gained weight (after spending all my life trying to put weight on for being underweight!) With no change to exercise or diet. I have had burning legs painful legs. Low Iron and low Vitamin D. 

My Fatigue has gotten worse and I am absolutely exhausted. 

I went back to the GP yesterday who said she will refer me for an Urgent Ultrsound on.my Ovaries, Womb, Stomach, Liver and Spleen but it won't be for another 6 weeks. 

After reading some forums it seems I might benefit for a CA 125 blood test? Do you think having this ASAP would help move the scan referall long if need be? I am 38 with a history of CIN stage 3 cells and HPV virus and had the Lettz treatment 12 Years ago. My last smear at the beginning of the year was clear

Thank you 

Claire 

  • I'm glad you went back to you GP Claire and now have an ultrasound coming up, although I'm sorry about how long you have to wait. I know this must be frustrating but if you let the ultrasound department know you're willing to take any cancellations, you may be able to have it done sooner.

    Unfortunately I can't answer your questions about the ca125 test but there's no harm in asking your GP about this. Our team of cancer nurses may be able to help as well, so if you'd like to get their thoughts on this, you can contact them on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. 

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their input and advice to you soon as well.

    Kind regards,
