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.

  • Oh I am so pleased for you that the biopsy was clear. Apologies for not responding sooner. The relief is something else isn’t it, I burst into tears as I’d worked myself up convinced it would be bad news. I have been sorting my in laws out as I’m in that point of life with elderly parents and young adult kids and life gets hectic. Sending lots of best wishes for your dads op. My dad had a robotic op for prostate cancer over 14 years ago that was medium grade and he recovered from the op very well so I hope your dad does too. Our old next door neighbour was diagnosed with it but with spread throughout his body at a similar time and went into a clinical trial at a hospital in London and the treatment he had was extremely successful and he too is still living his best life. Do let us know how he gets on xx
