Grateful

I'm so pleased I just come accross this forum I had bloods twice now following needing to pee a lot, I am awaiting a scan and have felt so scared with a ca125 reading of 42 but reading the posts has at least eased my mind I felt sure the only outcome will be they will find ovarian cancer( my mum had cancer twice and fully recovered but it's a bit of a shadow with me )  but I can see there are other reasons for this also. I hope all those that posted have been keeping well and Thankyou for posting as I've spend most of this week crying and reading this has just made me realise it's not necessarily going to be bad news and that there are other things that can impact too. Thankyou all x just got to get my scan Friday now and then I will know more 

  • Hello Moringa1

    I just wanted to wish you well ahead o your scan today. Hopefully the results will bring some answers and reassurance. 

    It's great to hear that the forum has been useful to you over the past few days. Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,

    I too stumbled across this forum recently after going out of my mind with worry about the possibility of ca125 positive test results. My anxiety has caused me even more issues, with me imagining I have all the symptoms. 
     

    mine came back normal according to my GP surgery, but I've now convinced myself something is wrong as I am still feeling pressure/heavy in my pelvis with brown discharge inbetween periods/when going to the toilet plus having an IUS too. 
     

    im an absolute wreck. I have an appt with my gynae consultant in a couple of weeks, but it's affecting my daily life. My emotions are all over the place. I just don't know what's going on.... I fear that the ca125 could be wrong and I've got it and don't want to be too late picking it up..... 

     

    im so scared x
