Hello Toni

I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with some health problems recently. It sounds as if your GP is incredibly supportive which is great. 

I hope that your scan went ahead with no problems yesterday. It may be that you've had some news by now but if not I wanted to try and offer some reassurance to say that although a raised CA125 level can be an indicator of ovarian cancer it does not necessarily mean that that's what it is. Other things can impact CA125 levels such as endometriosis and cysts. 

I hope that you have some positive news soon and that things settle for you. 

Best wishes,

Thank you for getting back to me.

I had both internal and external scan yesterday, 

They said they couldn't see my ovaries but I have got fibroids large and small. Said she will send report to my doctor and if I hadn't heard from her by Tuesday I should phone her. 

Are they allowed to tell you if the find something sinister?

Hello Tonimom

I'm glad to hear that they were able to complete the scans. It can vary from area to area about how much information a sonographer is "alllowed" to tell you but typically it seems that most sonographers don't tell patients anything at the time other than they will send results to the GP. 

I know it's easy to be worried about things but the good news is that you should have some answers within a few days now and hopefully your GP will be able to get the next steps to resolving things sorted quickly. 

Best wishes,
