Hey, I'm just wondering if someone has been through something similar with it ending well.

I was in hospital a few weeks ago, for something else, on discharge i was requested to have bloods taken once a week for 3 weeks. On Friday my gp phoned me and was asking about my periods, they were erratic for 2-3 yrs and iv not had a period since last august, i put it down to being peirmenopause as im 41. She explained I'd need an ultrasound, my CA125 is really high at 1337 😬in the past few years I have flare up of intense coughing that wouldn't stop until iv vomited. Today I was sick twice, once blood came up. I could feel like there was something stuck in my teeth so I brushed them to reveal a 5p size blood clot, and now my teeth won't stop bleeding🤦‍♀️ (and I'm on warfrin) my tummy is feeling very queasy today but I can't eat much.

Thank you for reading this if you got this far, I'm scared as I already have a preexisting health condition, not sure how much more I can take.

@ijustcouldntthinkofausername hi, I'm so sorry you are going through this. I remember feeling exactly as you are. I was told it could be anything from endometriosis, cysts or fibroids but i saw the big C on google i could think about anything else. Nothing was found on my ultrasound test, the technician said i could be perimenopausal, my gp just said no furthers tests are required.
As others have mentioned, don't Google, the CA125 is not a reliable test for cancer prognosis.
I will be keeping you in my thoughts, if you need someone to lean on please do message xx
