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.

  • Little update from me i am booked in for surgery on 5th November Samantha as my kids are now calling her has grown from 8cm to 11cm now since July. Recovery from keyhole i am told is 10 days and 3 weeks no driving. The consultant is 99.9% sure she is benign even put it in writing so I am happy with that outcome. Hope you are all doing ok. Sending lots of love x

  • Hello, oh I’m glad you have an eviction date for Samantha. That’s some speed she’s growing! Very glad she’s benign and you just need to get your surgery over with. Mine was also just shy of 11cm after surgery. You will see lots of chatter some time ago between jembers and I about our surgeries if you wanted to read over for some reassurance. It was early July we both had ours. We are 3.5 months since then and it feels like it was years ago! Good luck when it rolls around x
