Complex Ovarian Cyst or Cancer

Hi, I am just wondering if anyone has been through anything similar and can help put my mind at ease. I went for an ultrasound at the start of December to check my Fibriod, the good news is that this was not seen on the scan however they did see a complex cyst on my right ovary with mainly B-rules. I have been advised to go for a CA-125 blood test and extra scans to rule out ovarian cancer. The Doctor said this is to rule it out and with my age (27) it shouldn't be cancer. However I am absolutely terrified, I have a 2-year-old son and I have recently got anxiety, especially around health so hearing the word cancer has sent me spiralling. Could there really be a chance of cancer? If my CA-125 levels are high what will be the next steps? I am really trying not to let this consume me but I am just thinking the worst, I know it's silly but I am just thinking I am going to die and never see my boy grow up. Any advice on how not to worry so much too would be great!! I have done loads of research, which might not have helped so I wanted to speak to women that actually have gone through similar and what happened in their cases. Thanks so much x

It's really difficult not to worry. Just had a similar experience where I had suspicious ovarian cysts. Was put on a cancer pathway after ultrasound. Then had a CT scan and MRI. They then wanted to remove the ovaries. Had surgery and pathology results showed not cancer.

Hopefully yours are not serious. They should do scans reasonably quickly. But it's a bit of a rollercoaster.
