Hi-I have also just recently been told the devastating news after my blood results came back as high.. I had an mri/ ct scan pretty much straight away where they found a tumour on my left ovary also bowel and adrenal problems.. I'm so sorry.. please don't worry.. I know it's very difficult... and scary... I'm here if you need to chat..xx

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. 

Hi Tink, 

I can't help much, you're a step or two ahead of me at the moment.  Maybe one of the others is further along and can give an idea.

How are you holding up? I was doing ok really until I got my copy of the letter from the colposcopy clinic to my GP which gave the measurements of my ovary.  That was pretty much a gulp moment, I have grapefruit smaller for breakfast!!

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.

I used private healthcare through work but I don't think even that has helped speed things along. The consultant said something about going into the two week cycle. Hope you get the results soon. 

Hi Just-Mum

I'm in the south west. Apart from the first scan all my appointments have not been via letter. I've had a phone call from the hospital asking me to come along on the same day or making an appointment for the next day x

How is everyone doing? I had an eventful week with a trip to hospital due to the fluid around my abdomen, I was released but have to go back if any deterioration in breathing or further increased heart rate. Still no results though, have that to look forward to one Monday xx

Hi AcW,  wow that does sound eventful.  
Still no news here either, just waiting around.  It does mean we can get some work done on the house though, which is always a positive.  
I did have my first post lockdown haircut this week though, the first for two years! Trying to get ahead of the game a little, thinking about post op and how easy it will or won't be to wash my hair so decided it had to go, went from nearly waist length to a jaw length bob, which is much easier to deal with already, I should have done it ages ago.

Take care xx
