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

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.

Condolences, lovely. I'm sorry. I don't really know what to say. I'm so sick of cancer. I'm genuinely weeping. Sad news on here today but I'm glad she is no longer suffering and she went peacefully. Hugest hug. Strength and love to you too xx

I'm so very sorry. What a time for you and your family. I'm glad she went well xx

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

It’s just so bloody unfair x

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

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

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!!

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.

Oh Jeh, I hope you and your wife's storms settle now and you are in for some fairer weather. Long may your tumour surprise the doctors. I hope it cowers before chemo and I hope you both fall into better jobs and that you remain well enough to live spectacularly through any treatments you receive.

Thank you. Your words made me cry! I keep crying when people say nice things x

Tbh my CA 125 was also low, 63 I think but I don’t have high grade serous… mine is mucinous, weirdly my sisters was high grade and she was tested from BRCA when she had breast cancer as she was triple negative..you will be fine I know x

How are you doing? Did you manage to get a trip booked? Have you started your treatment yet? Thinking of you x 

Hello! We did we went to Portugal for a week and it was sunny and wonderful. Then we got food poisoning on the last day which was a bit of a downer!

I start chemo on Thursday 30th eek. Carbo/taxel and avastin.

Bit scared about it, and about everything tbh but I think I'll feel better once I've had that first treatment day done and dusted.

How are you doing?x
