Ovarian cyst

  • Hi I'm new on here I'm a bit all over the place at the moment. I've got an ovarian cyst which has been monitored for a while now and everything was fine. But in the last two weeks its started growing again my ca125 test has come back exactly the same as last year which is a good thing but my consultant has taken a renial function blood test and I've got a mri scan tomorrow. Plus I'm 57 and  postmenopause so I know that's a concern. I'm just wondering if anyone else is going through this or been through it. Thanks 

  • Hello Missflossy

    I'm sorry to hear that there have been some new concerns regarding an ovarian cyst that has been monitored over the kast two years. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. 

    Hopefully the additional tests that you've had this week will bring some clarity and answers and the specialist will be able to give you some reassurance when you next speak with them. 

    If it would help to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    Keep in touch Missflossy and let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,

    Hello

    I am 60, diagnosed with a 27cm ovarian cyst in Sept. Raised CA125, family history of cancer - mum had breast & then bowel, my sister ovarian. 
    I’m down for Laparoscopy 15th December: tubes, ovaries and omentum will be taken with the cyst and investigated. I had fibroids so my uterus and cervix was removed by keyhole 20 years ago.

    I’m scared about the surgery and recovery but also trying to be optimistic that I don’t have cancer.

    I do feel there is not enough to read on this and coming here has helped a tad.
