Feeling a little bit scared

Hi, this is the first time I've posted on any of the sites. 
 

I have been experiencing the following;

loss of appetite 

feeling full quickly

pain

bloated

pain during and after sex

(to name a few)

 

I ended up first going to the Doctors back in March this year after almost 3 weeks of all of the above, I lost 10lbs in a week and the pain was close to unbearable. I was sent for an ultrasound scan and given strong painkillers. I had to wait 8 weeks for the scan and a week after to get the results. I was told I have a 6.1 cm cyst and an enlarged womb, was told they're not looking for any other diagnosis but Ovarian Cancer.....not sure how seriously I took that if I'm honest! 

Anyway, I was referred to see the gynaecologist (still waiting for an apt) and had CA125 blood test done, those results came back today.........47. I don't know if that's good or bad or what?? I'm new to all of this.

Any advice?

Thank you all

Bex

    I know this must be quite scary at the moment but I'm glad you've found us as many of our members are in similar positions so will understand how you're feeling and will hopefully stop by soon to offer their support and advice.

    In the meantime, if you'd like to find out more about your CA125 results, it would be best to get in touch with your doctor or hospital. You're also welcome to have a chat with one of our cancer nurses on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope you're not waiting too much longer to be seen by the gynaecologist and good news comes your way.
