Hi I'm Sam. I've also recently been told that I have a complex cyst on 23rd July - my ultrasound was on the 22nd July, (measurring approx. 4cm with a 2cm vascularised solid component), and was referred to gynaecology within 2 weeks. They're arranging an MRI, but I haven't been told anything else or when. I'm perimenopausal and my CA125 result came back within range (14), but still worried sick. I was just wondering how you are and whether you can share any news please? Many thanks x

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that but please stay positive!

As far as I'm aware the 2 week referral rule doesn't exist anymore. I was told by nhs staff that it was swapped by 28days rule where they must see you, do the tests they need (cancer markers, mri etc whatever they think it's appropriate), confirm wether its cancer or not and discuss the treatment with you.

I had cea, another ca125 and few other blood tests. All within the range and MRI confirmed that I have endometriosis. 

I've been referred for hysterectomy and I'm currently waiting to hear when. As its not cancerous (thankfully!) I'm not on fast track anymore and I've been placed on upto 6months long waiting list. 

Please stay positive, I know it's easier said then done but your ca125 is within the range so it shouldn't be cancerous. I had my mri done very quickly (gynae app was on Monday and I had mri on Wednesday same week) so hopefully you won't wait too long too! Sending lots of luck and best wishes your way x

Thank you so much for your reassuring message. I'm so relieved to hear that yours was found to be benign. You almost don't mind being on a waiting list when you know that you're going to be ok. I re ly hope that your surgery goes well and you recover quickly. Sending you all the best xx
