8cm Complex Ovarian Cyst with CA125 of 51 - Absolutely terrified!!

I posted on here a few days ago after I found out unexpectedly that I had a large complex ovarian cyst. The consultant thinks it could a dermoid cyst but can't determine this for sure and is sending me for an MRI scan. In the meantime, my CA125 has come back raised at 51!!! I'm postmenopausal which just adds even more risk into the mix and I just feel like the odds are stacking up against me. I've had no symptoms and only got checked out because of a tiny amount of postmenopausal bleeding. I'm all over the place.

  • Thanks for asking. I'm so relieved that he's out of the woods. He's had two years of immunotherapy and it's holding the melanoma at bay. Given his health has improved I feel more free to think beyond the relationship tbh. He's really hurt me emotionally and doesn't value me so I'm considering walking away.

  • Hey Lyns21, not spoken for a while and have been wondering how you've been getting on. I'm glad to hear that you've had some good news about your partner, but I've been more concerned about how you are personally. I see you mentioned that you were still having some issues and losing weight, which was concerning you. From what you've said, this looks like the perfect time to focus on yourself. Reducing your stress and getting the opportunity to step back from all the negative energy that you've had to endure, might just put you on the right track again. X

  • I can imagine, you are on a rollercoaster just now. How is your eating going? I hope you have lots of support whatever you choose, and I’m glad you have got some breathing space to make decisions for your own life. Someone once said to me when I left my husband “leaving is the brave thing to do” and I’ve never forgotten it. Hopefully you find happiness either way x
