Hi I'm new to the forum, I don't even really know where I should be posting this and if it's going in the right forum but here goes, I'm pretty worried lately as I received a path lab form asking me to make an appt for a blood test, I googled what it said on the form which was ca125 test for complex ovarian cyst, it really threw me as I'd only gone for a scan due to having long/heavy periods and thinking it was my fibroids playing up again.
I have had a myomectomy in the past to remove fibroids and also ivf to have my boy so I'm no stranger to gynaecology appts but for some reason this cyst and the blood test is really freaking me out, I think as soon as you Google something and see the word cancer your mind goes into over time, I can barely sleep and am constantly fearing the worst, so worried about leaving my 7 year old only child without a mum.
I know I'm probably over thinking and worrying too much but I feel kinda lonely with my thoughts like I don't want to tell friends and family how worried I am.
I'm 44 I might add, I've not entered menopause yet. I have my blood test Monday the 12th, I just want to get it over with and get the results back.
I just wanted to just get this off my chest with hopefully like minded ladies who may know how I'm feeling.
Thank you for reading
