ovarian cyst blood tests

Hi, I had ultrascan for abdominal pain last week and they found 5x6cm cyst on one of my ovaries. I have since had bloods done at GP's - full blood count, gfr, urea & electrolytes, liver function, haemoglobin and ca125 which came back as raised. So have been referred to 2 week fast track to gynae service. The gynae service rang back today with a courtesy call saying next stage is more bloods before scan/ appt can be booked. Does anyone know what more tests they do - as according to Dr Google they've done all necessary already - or do they like to repeat before accepting referral. I'm just worried as time ticking by...
