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 Jeh! Thank you for the reply. I'm so sorry yours turned out to be cancer. How are you now? 

    Thank you for the reassurance. I think the thing I've found so difficult is the ambiguity and lack of direct communication with drs. I think it would help if there were people who were communicating at each step to let you know what's going on! Although I'm sure that increases their workload. 

    Almost there. Trying to keep a level head as I wait. Really praying I find out tomorrow like they said.

    Thank you so much Lyns. I'm 36 but I've completed my family so will see what they say. They did ask me if I'm done having children. 

    The lady on the phone was extremely understanding and sweet even when telling she couldn't really give me any information. She said she will call me tomorrow as soon as she can with an update and seemed really empathetic which does go a long way. 

    Have the bloods today at 1.30pm. Trying to take it easy til then and keep a level head til I hear back tomorrow. X

  • What markers were high for you ? Did you have a large mass or where they relatively small on both ovaries ?

  • I had a big 10cm+ right dermoid and a small one on my left. I had LDH of 524 and ca-125 of 54 which went up to 100+ before my op.
