ovarian cyst or more?

Morning everyone. 

Just writing to introduce myself and maybe hear from others about their experiences. 

I went to the GP a few weeks ago with what I thought was an IBS flare up.

Blood tests revealed a slightly raised CA125.

I had a scan a couple of days ago and they've found a cyst about 13cm in mass.  They've referred me urgently to gynaecology under the two week pathway. 

It explains my pain and constantly needing to wee!

I just wondered if anyone else was going through similar or has done. Trying to keep busy and positive xx

    Hello Katecat, 

    A warm welcome to Cancer Chat. You did well to go to your GP and it's good they are doing the necessary tests. I am sorry to hear they have found this cyst but it's great that things are moving fast and that you will soon be seen by a specialist.  

    You're doing the right thing in trying to keep busy and positive. It isn't always easy I am sure but the best thing to do is to keep distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online as this will only bring up worst case scenarios. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
