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 am so pleased to have found this forum. It really makes such a difference to not feel alone. 

    Wow, yes that is such a positive story, bless her. Good for her for living life to the full. Yes I agree, it is much better to know. Hopefully my appointment will bring reassurance x

    Hi Dave, 

    Thank you for your comment. That is so true, and to be fair, I didn't need to look through everything on the NHS app. I almost wish I hadn't, but yes that is so true. 

    My sister has suffered from endo for years, and ended up having a hysterectomy last year at 45. I wonder if whatever is going on with me could be something similar. 

    Thankfully we have just had half term so have been so busy, I haven't really had much time to think too much.

    Thanks again for your message
