  • Hello Helen and welcome to the forum. 

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been diagnosed as having an ovarian cyst and that you'll need surgery. Unfortunately we're not able to say whether it can be done by keyhole. This is something that you'll need to discuss with your surgeon. 

    You've mentioned that you also have a raised CA125 level and it's important to remember at the moment that having a raised level does not automatically mean a diganosis of cancer as high levels can also be caused by non-cancerous conditions such as endometriosis. 

    We know that waiting for tests and results can be a really worrying time. If you think it might help to talk to one of our nurses about your concerns then you can call them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm). 

    Best wishes,
