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.

  • Hi all hope you are all doing ok. Quick update from me I am day 2 post op home and recovering. They managed to get Samantha out by keyhole thank goodness she was actually 15cm and made of 2 dermoid cysts. She was stuck to my pelvic wall and my c section scars and had started to leak. She was mainly fluid and hair and been sent off to histology now to check. Can’t thank the NHs enough tbh they have been great. Fingers crossed for the histology being clear. Thanks again for everyone’s support x

  • Lovely to hear from you post op! How are you feeling? 15cm is huge, fantastic they kept it keyhole! Have they managed to keep everything all intact internally? 
    that’s me 4 months post op. Still no histology. I can only assume and hope that’s good news. My discharge papers say benign cyst but not a peep since! Hope your recovery goes ok x
