Hi... that's very kind of you.. ️.. we are all having the same feelings and thoughts at the moment... and if I can help someone feel like they are not on their own and bring them some comfort knowing someone else is there who fully understands.. I'll be here xxx

So, yes my blood results came back and they show elevated levels of CA125.  For now, all I can do is wait until the MDT have their meeting on Tuesday next week, but I imagine it will be the start of a load of follow up tests to see what we're dealing with.

Good luck ladies xx 

Sorry your bloods came back elevated. I had my MRI scan today so another test out the way, just got to wait until 28th March for the results :-( 

Hope everyone manages to enjoy the weekend, I'm going to try and do some meditation (I listen to the calm app but have never really 'meditated', thought it might help relaxation).

Sending love xxx

Big hugs to you ️.. let's all be here for each other.. have a good weekend xxx

Hi, 

Can I ask how long your waited for diagnosis after scans?

I had a scan on 9/3 and was told I had a very large ovary and other things going on in my womb. 11/3 was called to the doctors who said it was a fast track 2 week referral. Had bloods 14/3, which was ca125 level 44. 15/3 saw gynaecologist who had a look with camera and said many polyps and took a biopsy. Also referred me for an mri which I had on Friday. I thought that was it and would then await an appointment for results but have had a phone call today to say I now need a ct scan tomorrow. Everything is moving fast but am desperate to just know what's wrong and was wondering if I'd know by the end of this week. 

It's the unknown which is the hardest part. I'm not sure of the exact measurement of my ovary but when I had the transvaginal scan he said it was extremely large 

My daughter is 18 in 2 weeks and just need to know what's going on so I can arrange her celebrations. 

I had my CT scan 14/3 and my MRI 18/3 and am due to get results on 28/3. 
 

Fingers crossed for good results for all, the waiting is awful. I'm also just staying home now until they can sort my abdomen as one of my team asked when I was 'due' as he heard someone talking about me. So upsetting. 

Hi Tink,I understand completely it's a very worrying time... I've had my scans but have been waiting 4 weeks now to have a colonoscopy which is happening on the 6th of April... as I also have bowel cancer... the consultant explained it was down to backlog with covid... they are pretty quick at getting back to you with the results of your ct/mri scans.. I heard back within the week... they are pretty clued up with what they see on the scans they will probably ring you or ask you to go into the doctor to discuss results and then they will explain what happens next... your in good hands... I know it's hard waiting around for results... let's hope your gear by the end of the week...Take good care xx

Hi ladies, I was wondering which health care areas you came under and if that reflects on the times taken.  I'm in the south east.

Des, on a positive note, my mum had bowel cancer which was treated and she's absolutely fine now.  Hers was about ten years ago I think.

I was thinking of writing things down, hoping it would help.  I can imagine it's going to get quite confusing with everything that's going on and it will help to keep things straight.

sending hugs.
