“Something” on left ovary following scan

My mom had a transvaginal scan today following a slightly raised CA125 of 53. Her Gp has since contacted her to say they are referring her urgently to hospital as they have seen something on her left ovary. They mentioned cancer and a hysterectomy. I just wondering if it could be fibroids or something innocent? If it is cancer, I’m hoping and praying it’s early stages. She has had no other symptoms at all and it was only followed up following her CA125. Thank you all. 

  • Hello Lindylou15

    I'm sorry to hear that your Mum has been referred to see the specialist following a recent ultrasound. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about things. 

    It's difficult to say what might have been identified but it's good to know that they are arranging to get this looked into as soon as possible. 

    I don't know if you'll be attending the appointment with your Mum but if you'd like to chat with one of our nurses for some advice and support before that appointment you're most welcome to give them a call. They're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Do let us know how she gets on. 

    Best wishes,
