Hello. My mum died from ovarian cancer in 2005 when she was 50 years old. As such, I’ve always been on high alert when it comes to cancer because of mum.
My first scan was June last year. CA125 was 31. Scan showed a cyst - no concerns. CA125 repeated January this year & raised to 39. Another scan in March this year showed the cyst was hemorrhagic. Had another scan last weeK which showed my cyst is still present and still hemorrhagic.
My GP called me yesterday requesting my CA125 is repeated. I told the GP I had my thyroid blood test next Friday so I’d called yesterday morning and spoke to the receptionist who said the form for CA125 bloods was there and they’d add the CA125 to be done next Friday also but the GP has worried me now as he said on the phone yesterday he thinks it’s best the CA125 is repeated this week so I’m having it tomorrow and he said to call Friday for results and if risen again it will be an urgent referral to gynaecology.
I asked the GP why it would be urgent and he said basically to see if it’s malignant or cancerous.
My question is, what will happen at gynaecology? Is it another scan/something else?
I know my CA125 at 39 (risen from 31) isn’t the highest but given mums history, I’m naturally concerned.
Has anyone had a hemorrhagic cyst turn out be cancerous with a CA125 of around 39?
I’m 36 years old.
