Referred for suspected Gynecologic cancer

So I did a Ca125 test after ongoing bleeding between periods, bloating, heavy bleeding, leg pain and hip pain 

Ca125 came back risen at 109 

then a hip X-ray for the pain showed a impingement I can’t sleep at night for the hip pain 

so an ultrasound showed  a 22mm thick womb in first week after period, a thick walled cyst at 5cm, and a number of hertrogenourous echoe pattern. 

further bloods showed low white blood cells 

I was then sent for a thorax abdomen and pelvic CT with Dye I was not told why I still haven’t spoken to anyone this is all from the nhs app and just going to appointments I can see then the gyno consultant ordered the Ct after looking at the ultrasound 

honestly I feel like it’s bad news I am off to the rapid access clinic next week can I ask if a CT scan was ordered as they are looking for cancer, due to what she’s seen on the scan? 

thanks to you xx 

  • Hello Rocketwoman

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some health concerns recently which have resulted in you being asked to attend the hospital for a number of tests. It's unfortunate to hear that no one has really explained to you what they think may be going on and why they have asked for additional scans. I can understand your concern. 

    It's good to hear that you do have an appointment with the specialists next week and hopefully, the tests that you've already had will give them the information they need to be able to make an accurate diagnosis and discuss options for improving things for you. 

    In the meantime, I wonder if you might find it useful to chat things through with one of our nurses. I know they will be happy to offer any advice, information and support they can along with helping you think about any questions or points you might want to raise with the specialists next week. If you'd like to talk with them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I do hope that you get some answers this week and the team can give you some reassurance. Keep in touch Rocketwoman and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
