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

just giving you some virtual hugs. Stage 1 is definitely workable but I'm sorry it wasn't just a gremlin...

Steve... At least you made yourself known.

How is your sister doing? 

Sending a big hug too! Hope you are doing ok and have good support at home. Damn these ovaries! I hope you can get it treated asap x

Hey calyxa. Obviously, not the perfect news you were hoping for, but caught extremely early. Steve has definitely done you a favour! Sending you hugs and positive thoughts. Take it easy and let us know how you get on. XX

Exactly!  Would have preferred the gremlin! 

thanks for asking… she is finally home after 11 weeks in hospital, and feeling much better … xx

Thanks hun! Just awaiting game now but hopefully they can sort pdq x

Yes I think the same.. not ideal but could have been far worse! Will keep up updated xx

Sorry to read this update, but at least they caught it in the early stages. Hope you're OK, sending lots of virtual love to you!! 

absolutely, thank u xx

Who ever thought Steve would be the saviour in this. So glad to read it’s stage 1 and hopefully contained and maybe even already over and done with now. Or will they do chemo for belt and braces? Sending love, even catching it so early, that’s hard to hear. I’m just so glad you are getting great care and hoping for a quick referral for you so you can have a plan in place. 
wonderful news your sister is home too, that really is great after 11 long weeks. 
how are you in your recovery? Managing to get about now? Sending lots of get well wishes your way x 

Ha I know! Yes maybe they don’t do anything but consultant thought I should take what they offer just in case anything microscopic had escaped! Recovery has been ok so far… can’t drive so that’s a pain but hubby has been fantastic… even on the pink jobs !  Have a fab weekend xx

Aww, I'm so glad you have had good support. I would nuke it if it were me, just in case. You're post menopause, yeah? So it's not like it's going to take your cycle from you. But I guess HRT is out of the picture for you and yours as ovarian cancer is so prominent.

Yes that’s what the consultant said tbh… if they offer anything take it! Yes I am post menopause but having dreadful night sweats, which I never had before… anyone else had similar issues after hysterectomy? Have a fab bank holiday Monday x

I had night sweats for a few weeks after my hysterectomy in 2013. I kept my ovaries but it still sent my body into a spiral hormonally as I was only 30. They did settle down though. Hope yours do too!x

Thanks hun, I am taking supplements that may help but so weird as wasn’t expecting it!  

I am sadly a little older than that…

I've been post menopausal for 3 years now, and my hot flushes and night sweats had already started to settle down. As well as the dermoid cyst, I chose to have my ovaries and fallopian tubes removed, and wondered if my symptoms would reappear. I actually think they're even less noticeable than before, so I'm quite relieved about that. On the other hand, every time I forget something or look in the mirror and see more crows feet around my eyes, I automatically blame it on having no ovaries anymore! My husband finds it most amusing and keeps saying "is that because you've had your ovaries removed?"

I didn’t really suffer at all when I went thru the menopause but since Steve was removed it’s something else! The heat is awful not helped by the warm nights! I will see what I can find naturally on dr Google and that! My hubby wants me to get a noob job now as I have list 16kg since this started … mostly boobs… men eh!!

16kg loss goodness! Boobs are always the first to go when I lose weight, how unfair. Ignore daft husband, what are they like! 
when do you get to see someone medically next?x 

Any news on your histology yet? I’m so keen to close this chapter. I wish they would come through! Can’t believe next month it’s a year since we started our journeys! How’s your recovery going? I’m fully healed from what I can tell, horse riding was my last thing to attempt and I did it pain free last week. I am being very lazy and using my operation as an excuse not to attend the gym. I must stop that! X 

Ha I know he makes me laugh though so that’s a good thing! Just waiting to hear from oncology now… hopefully not too long to wait x

Ola ladies… had my histology through … unfortunately it’s not the best news … in that it is cancer but… it’s stage 1 and I start chemotherapy on 15/9 … so good that it’s caught early and the chemo is basically belt and braces… it’s also not the common type (flash me) called mucinous. I have recovered from surgery so this is just another bump to get over … also lost some weight so that’s another plus! Xx
