Endometrial cancer symptoms - age 25

Hi all

i wanted to share my current situation in case anyone had heard of a similar scenario or gone through it.

I recently had an internal ultrasound which has shown my endometrium measures 20mm which I’ve read is a strong indication of cancer or malignancy. It also showed an endometrioma cyst.  However given my age (25 yrs old), I didn’t think it is a possibility. In June I had a blood test which came up high for ca125 ( suggesting an issue with ovaries). 

apart from this the only symptom I’ve had is occasional abdominal pains a, nausea and tiredness.

my next doc appointment is next week. But just wanted to see if anyone had heard of this type of cancer at my age, I’m a little concerned.

  • Hello Omi13

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some health concerns recently and that you're now waiting to see the Dr again following your most recent ultrasound. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. Hopefully when you see the Dr next week they will be able to give you some reassurance about the scan results. 

    In the meantime if you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice and support they can. 

    Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on next week. 

    Best wishes,

    Hey I’m 40 and I’m waiting for my results as I have a measure of 20.73 and a polyp. How are you getting on?
