Hello jembers, I wrote on your first post as I also have an incidental mass very similar. 
when I had my CA125 test I was told it is very likely for a raised amount even if only a cyst as it can signal other things like pelvic inflammatory. The levels can be in their hundreds just on a period so actually the fact that you went to the docs with some post menopause bleeding might actual explain the higher level.

when is your MRI? I am also awaiting mine, I had to have further bloods taken on wed and awaiting my MRI now. 2-4 weeks. 
more waiting…..

keeping everything crossed for us! 

Hi cloudy1986, thanks so much for checking in with me, it means a lot. I've been given an appointment for 23rd December (Merry Christmas!!) I'm clearly on an urgent 2 week wait due to the nature of my cyst, my age and my blood test results. It's very hard not to fear the worst. I'm trying to remind myself that my situation could be completely benign, but due to my terrible habit of googling, I've convinced myself that it's something terrible! I am genuinely sending as many positive thoughts to both of us as I possibly can. X

My partner's biopsies and pet scan have just come back clear and he's stage 4 melanoma. There's hope even after a previous diagnosis that it won't be metastases or a secondary cancer. These dermoids seem quite common so I've got everything crossed you've got one of these gremlins and nothing untoward.

Would u believe 29/7 x

I am so sorry to hear that, hoping for the best news about his treatment and that you are ok also? Hugs x

Hi Lyn,

Thank you for your kind words,  you sum it up really well, always have hope. I'm glad your partners results have come back clear. Strong positive hugs to you all and thank you for reaching out and making me feel so welcome.  X

I'm sorry to hear they cancelled your surgery, good to hear that they set a new date although I know it's going to feel like a long few weeks.

How are you feeling about everything? Hopefully things have settled around the house a bit with clear results? Is the melanoma being treated?x 

Goodness that’s far away for how urgent I would have thought! How are you? Any more trip to a&e? Hope you are keeping better while you wait.x 

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.

Hi, he's actually in a good place health wise atm. His stage 4 diagnosis is a couple of years old now and he's responded to treatment. I wasn't clear in my response. It was good news. A clear PET scan means there's no active cancer sizable enough to show 

Exactly… I did look at going private and paying for it tbh, but that’s a 4-6 week waiting list anyway and at least £20k … my only worry is that they cancel again!

I also looked at going private and the nhs appointment came through. 

£20k…wow. 
all of this has seriously made me think about getting private health insurance! 
hope you are healthy in the meantime x 

I think if it was a smaller cyst it would be Jesus cheaper but they said circa £15k just for the bed! Defo think it’s worth considering tbh… but I also have news.., operation is now 15/7 x

I'm so relieved they've brought it forward. I've had you on my mind a lot.

Sorry I'm not replying much on here atm. My mind's all over the place x

Sorry for delay, was on holiday last week. So lovely to get away before operation. Oh that’s great news you have had it moved forward. Only 2 weeks now. How you feeling? My op is planned for 9th July. I hope it goes forward, I just want to close this chapter. Hope your symptoms are being kept at bay just now while you wait x 

How are you? Hope you are ok lyns21 x 

Just have a lot of worries but met the anaesthetist last week and she was lovely, have more tests on the 11/7 and then hopefully good to go for the 15th! Hope you had a great holiday and all crossed for your op on the 9th x

Mine too tbh, my sister is still in hospital too so a lot going on , thank u for thinking of me too, hope you are ok too x

I've got some slight heart arrhythmias and still got a bit of swallowing trouble but the weird letter that I was copied into by the gastroenterologist didn't seem to think my hernia is a big deal so I don't know what's going on really. See the GP next week so I'm going to query exactly what might be causing it all other than middle age. Not had a proper consultation with anyone but been prescribed beta blockers which I haven't started taking because I have asthma and other meds and I'm wanting reassured it's all okay together. Thanks for asking x

I'm glad treatment looks like it might commence soon for folks on here but it feels like it's all taken a bit long really though good you had a holiday!

Hey Lyns12, hope you get some decent feedback from the GP next week. I don't know what's worse sometimes, having a definitive diagnosis of something that might be worrying or having troublesome and persistent symptoms that are relatively harmless! Good to hear that some of our cancerchat buddies have got dates now for surgery. I'm still waiting, but thankfully, I'm not quite as stressed out as I was at the start. I will no doubt be back on here soon looking for reassurance when my operation dates finally comes through! Hope you're doing ok and don't forget, I'm always here for a chat. X

I hope everyone is doing okay and the hot weather has been manageable this week. I wanted to thank everyone for their support once again. I've been to see the consultant this morning and he's fairly sure it's a complex cyst (but no hair and teeth). I've been listed for surgery today and they expect it to happen in the next few weeks. I appreciate that everyone keeps sharing how they are are doing.  Take care all. X
