Raised CA125

Hi

I'm panicking slightly and wondered if anyone is in/has been in the same boat.

After seeing my GP for intermittent pain in RUQ for last few months, he did a load of bloods and CA125 came back raised at 85.

I was referred for urgent ultrasound which I had yesterday.  The lady scanning me told me I have gallstones (hence the pain) and although she could only see one ovary,  there was a cyst on there. 

I came away from the scan feeling like I have answers and just need to whip out my gallbladder and watch the cyst.

Later yesterday evening,  I noticed 2 missed calls from my GP surgery and a voicemail saying he needs to discuss the ultrasound results and will try me again Monday morning. 

I feel like anything that has been reported by the hospital to my GP that quickly can't be good

I'm freaking out and can't do anything until Monday.

I'm only 37 and have 2 young kids. Now I've got alsorts going through my head and I can't settle.

Sorry for the long post. Thanks for reading x

  • Hi,

    I have no medical knowledge but just to say you can't do or know anything till you have spoken to GP.

    An obvious suggestion is to try and distract yourself with stuff between now and then.

    I known it doesn't really help much, but wanted you to know you're not alone.

    Peace
