Complex ovarian cyst

I've had an ultrasound which has picked up hundreds of fibroids and a complex cyst on my right ovary. My CA125 is 139.
Fast forward two weeks and I've seen a junior consultant, who wasn't concerned at all and basically told me there's nothing wrong with me, she would only be worried if I were 20 years older!! I'm 43..... she said they would monitor me every 3 months. Obviously I went out of the hospital in a daze feeling like I've wasted their time!!

 I was assigned a support worker from the gyny team at my local hospital once my doctor did a fast track referral and thank god she rang me!!

 The senior consultant requested an MRI which I have now had. My next appointment is next week. The waiting is affecting my every day routine and I can think of nothing but having cancer and leaving my 13 year old twins. I know it's not long to wait but I'm so scared.

  • Hey 

     

    I have a 4.4cm cyst on my right ovary. I was told after a few ultrasounds that my cyst looked complex. I spent days and night googling and worrying. I'm 38 years old and have two children. 
    My CA125 was also high and twice the results for this test came up increased. So 3 months later I get a call to say you have a MRI booked and some more bloods, to b told 2 weeks later that my cyst is a hemorrohaging cyst and my CA125 results have decreased. So my MRI found nothing sinister but I am due to have surgery to drain the cyst and remove endometriosis. 

  • I'm 38 with two children too. My CA125 levels were high after I had an ultrasound that found bilateral cysts with solid areas. One cyst is around 10cm and is painful, especially to the touch. I had an endometrium biopsy, an MRI and more blood tests (all looking for cancer markers and organ problems) so am waiting on the results. I'm scared. Not just of it potentially being cancer but of the treatment I might be needing. I'm a wuss about operations etc. Waiting and not knowing though is torturous. Veering from thinking I must be okay to searching for confirmation of this to thinking the worst. I hope everyone on this thread will be okay.
