Hello,
I recently had a blood test and my CA markers should be below 35 units they are at 47.
I have lost a lot of weight due to not being able to eat full meals, this has been going on for months.
My friend said I looked a little yellow and I was short of breath so thought I may be iron deficient again. I went to have my blood tests and my tumor markers were significantly high. The doctor is aware that I have endometriosis and there is a hemorrhagic cyst still present on the right ovary.
I had one operation in 2020 and I was referred to a Endo specialist, a Liver specialist as I have a hyplasia on my liver and a bowel specialist as endometriosis is all over my bowel too.
Covid happened and I couldn't get the op and when I finally got offered the operation and got dumped the day I was supposed to be taken in.
I have always suffered with bloat but not this full feeling and my bowel movements have been loose and can fluctuate between hard and loose in the past but mainly for a few months they have been loose.
I've had trouble sleeping not because of worry just struggle with insomnia for nearly a year and have been given zopiclone to help.
I've not had a scan since 2020 on my pelvic area.
I'm trying to stay positive and I'm conscious that I had bloods done last year and urine samples and protein and blood was present in my urine but nothing showed in my bloods.
I'm trying to piece together that if I had bloods last year and my CA levels weren't at an alarming rate to suggest malignancy so if it shows the presence of that now and it is what I'm dreading is this a positive sign that it's early stages?
I'm trying to be real and also trying not to think the worst. I want to be positive and gather information and try my best to be prepared.
Thank you for reading this ️
