Hi all. I am worried sick as a CT scan has identified an adnexal mass near my left ovary and a subsequent blood test for CA125 has come back elevated at 52. I am now scheduled for an ultrasound on Thursday morning.

I had an ultrasound last June which showed a small fibroid but nothing of any concern. I also had an abdominal ultrasound in A and E in November as I was having severe pain low down in my abdomen. Nothing was seen on this CT scan.

I am absolutely terrified that I have ovarian cancer!

My symptoms thus far have been-

hip pain radiating down front of thigh, bloating with excessive wind, niggly ovary twinges and flooding periods (I've always had unusually heavy periods).

I was in the middle of a heavy period when bloods were done which some have said can affect the CA125 levels.

Has anybody else experienced similar?

I should probably add that I am 49 and suffer with anxiety disorder and panic disorder which I've had since I was 18. This is so scary!!
