Scared after seeing on my NHS app the words 'suspected gynaecological cancer'

Hello, 

I went to the Dr about 3 weeks ago after some bleeding in between periods and lower back pain.

Had a blood test done on Tuesday, which came back as abnormal. My CA125 result was 43. I spoke to the Dr and she said she would do a fast track referral for a scan and to see a gynecologist. The scan date has come through for 28th May. 

I am really scared after seeing on my NHS app the words 'suspected gynecological cancer'. I am 42.

  • Hello, I’m in a similar boat and saw your post as am awake at 1.12am having a panic attack and not able to sleep. I started bleeding last Friday after nearly 15 months of no periods. Today my ultrasound showed a thickness of 4.8 but no fibroids or polyps. I saw the gynaecologist afterwards who attempted to do a hystroscopy to do a biopsy but couldn’t due to previous ablation I’d had 10 years ago so I’m now waiting for a date to have it done under general anaesthetic. I feel drained and scared. Google is not a good place to be and I wish I could stop but I’m trying to find any reassurance I can. Good luck with your tests.
