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.

    Hello everyone! Almost 3 weeks ago I found out I have a 9cm mass after 5 months of intermittent bleeding. I have a CA125 result of 56 and have had my MRI scan. All I know is that the mass is complex. The waiting is so so hard. In a bid to try and make sense of some of the news I've received, I have found this thread. Thank you for sharing your stories. Over 2 years ago and still such a help to people in a similar situation. 

    I am shocked by how long it can take from finding the mass to actually getting it surgically removed. But also seeing it is helping to manage my expectations a little bit, that I could be waiting longer than I think. 

    Any tips welcome.
