I have had scans and finally MRI. I have been told I have dermoid cyst. 4.5 x 5.5 cm near my ovary. My CA19.9 was 112 so I’m having this blood test again in a months time. I’m worried this still might be cancer. Am I over reacting and worrying unnecessarily? could the raise blood be cancer, the ovarian cancer blood test was fine.

Thank you for any advice.

Hi,

Well, I was told that a raised CA19.9 level could be due to a number of different things, and that, because of this, it’s not a test that’s generally used on its own to detect cancer. So, as your ovarian cancer blood test was fine, hopefully getting treatment for your cyst will be all that’s needed to bring your levels down.

A month is going to feel like a long time to wait for your next blood test, but hang in there......and if you get any new symptoms don’t hesitate to go back to your doc to get checked out !

Wishing you all the best,
