I found out that I have a complex cyst of 5cm that needs investigating urgently. The consultant said he didn't think I have cancer but we need to make sure (I don't have any symptoms, it was just found by chance). I am waiting for an MRI scan to characterise the cyst. In the meantime I got my CA125 result and it is raised at 47. I'm absolutely terrified. I have really awful health anxiety anyway and I'm just not coping well at all. I had the blood test done at the end of my period but I wasnt sure if by then it would affect the result. The consultant thinks the cyst is likely to be an endometrioma or hemorraghic cyst but he hasn't had the blood test result then.
I have googled alot but I guess I would appreciate any words that might help me to not think the worst. Any positive stories. I am so unhappy and very scared.
