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.

  • Hope you have had a good time away x

    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

    How are you getting on?x

  • Hello Lis83. Went today as an emotional wreck. Spent the whole consultation crying. I was given the results of still abnormal cells no advanced cancer, but I was so convinced I had full blown Stage 3 cancer. The MRI was clear. I have agreed to an hysterectomy I cannot go through the madness of not knowing tbh. The roller coaster is unreal. I am aware that once they take my womb it still has to be examined and a pathology report given so im not completely out of the dark. The main thing is the Surgeon said my obesity is the main factor and I should loose weight possibly jabs. The absolute stress, crying and turmoil is so much. I came home and went to bed. I then thought am I being dramatic...it has consumed me. I am grateful, but also feel like ive taken alot of my life and lifestyle for granted. Im grateful at this point. Thank you for checking in. Xxxx I hope you are ok? X

  • Sorry forgot to mention before the surgery they are fitting me with a mirena coil to hopefully.... Keep the abnormal cells at bay. I am so grateful. The op will be robotic in 4 to 6 weeks time.
