Hi all,

I hope you don’t mind me asking a few questions. I had a full hysterectomy, retaining one ovary, 3 years ago. Obviously, I have not had periods since then but I continue to have pelvic pain as if I were having a period. In the last 10 months I have lost 3 stone in weight and I just feel that something isn’t right. I have back pain and I am ridiculously tired. 

my ca-125 result was within the normal range, at 13. I was sent for a private ultrasound but through the nhs and the sonographer told me I should hear in a week but was quite insistent in saying that if I haven’t heard in a week, then I must call my gp. I called the gp today, 2 days after ultrasound as I am very anxious. The receptionist almost laughed and said there was no way I would hear within a week, apparently they always say that but it can be weeks! However, when she looked, my results were actually in but hadn’t been viewed by a doctor so they couldn’t tell me if there was anything to share. This has made me further anxious, if they usually take more than a week why are they there so quickly.

has anyone been diagnosed and had results sent over so quickly?

has anyone else had a ca-125 of 13/normal range but still been diagnosed with ovarian cancer?
