Complex ovarian cyst gynecology referal

Hi everyone, 

After having extremely heavy bleeding and large clotting for the past year I decided enough was enough when severe pain started too. 

My white blood count was high but nothing to be concerned over and my c125 was 12 so that's a good low number.

However I was sent for an external and tv ultrasound and today I got the results.

Complex ovarian cyst on left ovary with septation and irregular borders plus some solid areas. 

This cyst has been with me for years the last scan was 6 years ago and it has grown. I'm now being referred to gynecology. Cancer was mentioned alot but it was down played. Has anyone had a cyst like this and it turned out to be nothing to worry about? I know it will need to be taken out as it's causing alot of problems.

    Hi, how are you all? I just read your stories and hope you are all well! I can't see any new/updated posts. The last one is from few months ago.

    I came across this forum while I was researching more information about my own recent scan result: "High in the left adnexa there is a 40 x 37mm complex mixed echo cyst.
    No increase in vascularity seen." I had Ca125 done four weeks ago and result was 19. I'm currently waiting for the hospital to contact me regarding the urgent referral for suspected gynaecological cancer from my GP and I'm extremely worried. I'm trying to stay of google but it's hard not to read....

    Hi jkg21, sorry to hear that you’re going through this - it can be so worrying and the wait is always horrible!
    My CA125 was 9, and my understanding is that anything below 35 is generally a more reassuring sign? I was then sent for an MRI and my results of this showed that it was that it may have been a hemmorhagic cyst and therefore benign :) I still have a little bit of worry as the prev consultant had said they can’t be 100% sure what it is definitely benign unless it’s removed… but just trying to trust the doctors/mri results that everything is ok. 
    Sending you lots of luck and well wishes x
