Hello CharlieChalk

I'm sorry to hear that you've had some ongoing health problems recently. It's understandable that you may be feeling anxious and have questions about the next steps in resolving these symptoms. 

It's good to hear that your GP has been so supportive and that they've referred you to see the specialist. Whilst the CA125 test can be used as part of the diagnostic process for ovarian cancer a raised level can be caused by other gynaecological conditions and it's possible to have a cancer diagnosis with a normal level. It sounds like your GP is being proactive in referring you on the 2-week pathway to make sure that you're seen as soon as possible so that a cancer diagnosis can hopefully be ruled out and also so that any appropriate treatment can begin asap. 

We know that waiting for appointments and information can be a difficult time. If you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. I'm sure they'll be happy to offer any advice and support they can. 

Do keeping touch and let us know how you get on. 

Best wishes, 
Jenn
