Hi everyone,

My partner has history of endometriosis and ovarian cysts. She's previously had one of her ovaries removed due to a complex ovarian cyst that had grown up to 8cm. Unfortunately, she now has a 4cm cyst on her right ovary and following an ultrasound, they doctor said it looks like a complex cyst. They then called her for a blood test and her CA 125 levels were high enough for her GP to send her for an urgent referral to rule out cancer. My wife was on her period when the blood test was taken and she also has endometriosis and obviously the cyst. We are hoping that's why her CA 125 were high and it's nothing sinister like cancer. She is 38 years old and the GP said while the risk of cancer is low, that we need to rule it out. When they removed her cyst 5 years ago, they did a biopsy on it and said that it wasn't cancerous. 
 

I have been struggling and I'm sure she is as well constantly thinking about it but I remind myself that I need to be strong for the both of us. The wait however is killing me and I can't help but looking things up on Google. 
 

She's not had any of the other cancer symptoms like weight loss, constipation, bleeding and so on. She does feel bloated sometimes but again I think that's because of her endo however that's not always the case and is only when it's around her period time. 
 

I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience and if they can offer some words of advice. 
 

Thank you for listening
