Scared

had bloating and bleeding for around 3 months got referred to a gyny they have found a giant cyst 25cm i look around 7 months pregnant my stomach is huge theyve told me i have to have surgery to remove it but want to do further tests before they do my CA 125 blood tests came back at 85 my doctor called me yesterday and basically tried to brace me she was talking as if I had ovarian cancer im 31 and have 3 children! It hasn't been confirmed cancerous but all the doctors and specialists are talking as if they already know it is! Im worried sick waiting on this CT scan I just want removed! Is it possible my marker blood tests came back at 85 and it still not be cancerous? Anyone had any similar experiences? I'm petrified 

  • Hello kayd89

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been diagnosed with such a large cyst. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about things at the moment. 

    CA125 results can be raised by lots of conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts and even pregnancy. It's natural to be worried but keeping positive about things and not looking too far ahead will help you to manage your anxiety until you have some firm answers about things. 
    You might find it helpful to chat things through with one of our nurses while you're waiting on your next appointment. They're available Monday to Frida9 am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope you have some news soon. 

    Best wishes,
