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

Thank you it’s just dreadful x

Offering hugs. I wish things were different. Strength and love from me too x

Thank you Lyns, means so much to know you are thinking of us x

she is only 58 I really wish things were different too x

I’m glad it’s just a little nausea, sounds like you have so much going on. Your poor sister. 58 is no age at all :( x 

I know! She had breast cancer in 2021 and then Ovarian diagnosed 2 years ago… unrelated too, wished she had been offered a hysterectomy after the breast cancer as she was triple negative… but too late now x

In a weird twist of fate I've been diagnosed today with stage 3c high grade serous ovarian cancer

Chemo will start at the end of the month 

Oh no, so sorry to hear this but you will be fine xx

Hi ladies, so I started my chemo and am currently attached to cycle 2, so far so good and no real problems apart from a bit of nausea!

Just wanted you lovely ladies know that sadly my sister lost her battle on 20/9 but it was so peaceful and she really had had enough of hospitals xx

Oh honey, sending strength and love. I'm sorry. Pouring all my hope and prayers into your chemo. I hope it nukes the b******* yet is gentle with you.

Oh honey, sending strength and love. I'm sorry. Pouring all my hope and prayers into your chemo. I hope it nukes the b******* yet is gentle with you.

Thank you. It's blown my mind that it's been 10 months since my original CT to get to this point. The good news is it's not really grown in that time and despite it being aggressive, they're hopeful as it's been contained in a fortress of scar tissue somehow.

She said I'll never be cured of it though. But hopefully can keep it at bay.

thank you, we have all laughed and cried over the last 2 weeks xx

Sending you lots of love and good luck for the chemo 10 mths is along time to wait for this news. 

So sorry for your loss I am glad she went peacefully you do have a lot to contend with at the moment with your chemo as well. lots of love 

Yeah it is. I had surgery earlier in the year twice where they removed a benign lump but scans in June showed the original cystic lesion was still present. 

I've had cervical cancer in 2013 so they thought it was a recurrence of that as ca125 was low and it wasn't growing.

She told me I was odd and my cancer wasn't behaving as expected which is a good thing I think.

*** cancer and the horse it rode in on!!

Thank you xx just an overall *** year! X

Jeh oh my goodness I’m very sorry to read you have cancer again. After all your surgery etc and they removed further benign lumps and this one was still there! It sounds like it’s trapped in a cage in your body from your description. 
what does treatment look like for you? Will you get further surgery?x 

Thanks cloudy! It's a big shock and I'm still very confused.

I'll start a combo of carbo/taxel with avastin at the end of the month then onto a maintenance drug for as long as that works.

Surgery isn't possible as they've opened me up so much but never found this lump which is frustrating.

She's said it isn't curable but it's controllable so fingers crossed I'll stay that way for a long while yet.

Mentally I'm still reeling from it and I guess I will be for a while. X

I bet, you must just be all over the place mentally. That just sounds so confusing, even I have so many questions, I can’t imagine what you feel like. 
it sounds like it’s been slow growing even though they have noted it as 3c so I’m very glad that it’s going to be controlled. What a shock for you. I hope you are doing nice things and have things to look forward to at a time like this. Be kind to yourself. Sending lots of hugs and well wishes, be thinking of you x 

Thank you. Yeah we're trying to book a v last minute holiday next week if we can get some dog care.

I just don't understand why they didn't do the simple biopsy back in January. It feels like even though it was cyst like and next to an ovary they just considered cervical cancer recurrence. So weird but my ca125 was low and I didn't have symptoms matching this stage of ovarian cancer. I still don't!

My aunt got the same diagnosis but hers had spread throughout her pelvis, she couldn't get out of bed, she lost loads of weight etc whereas I still wouldn't know it was there otherwise. Hers was BRCA negative.

Anyways, in chemo we trust haha!

To add to the insult both my wife and I lost our jobs last month so we lost our private health insurance last week. You couldn't write it.
