Hi All

Just joined the forum. pleasecouldyou tell me what level ca125 is reallybad?

On Friday at 5.30pm gp called to say Mine is 87 and dr said it couldbe cancer or might not be but had made urgent referral to 2 w pathway ultrasoundn gynae team. Is 87 off the scale? I feel physically sick so worried. Cant think of anything else

Symptoms are bloating,  urine frequency and an occasional random gush of discharge which seems like waters are breaking like in pregnancy . Feeling full, food not going down. Heartburn. Dizziness.  Tiredness. 

Im so glad i found this support group.

How do i wait for my tests, cant concentrate on work or anything:-(

So sorry for my post being so low.

Thank you

Maple

    I had the call yesterday and the MRI has shown that the cyst on my right ovary is of no concern and is only a couple of CM. 

    The cyst on the right is 12cm and is complex, the gyne explained it as borderline but said I haven't got any other concerning factors (IE being ill or free fluid).

    Ive been referred to an oncologist now for further tests and eventually surgery to get it removed

    Have to admit the word borderline has me terrified. It's so easy to think the worst and I feel like my fears are coming true

    Wishing you both well and positive thoughts xx
