Awaiting Tests / Diagnosis

Hello all,

I’m new here and have been reading all your stories / advice and wanted to share my story thus far and if anyone has experienced anything similar?

I turned 40 this year and before my birthday came I decided to live more healthily and started a diet and joined the gym.  I had been losing weight through diet and once I lost approx 2 / 2.5 stone I noticed my abdomen looked quite swollen in comparison to my frame.  I thought I would go to the doctors to see if there was anything untoward, as my mom had a history of digestive issues.  The doctor thought an ovary could be swollen and referred me to a 2 weeks appt and blood tests.  I only have occasional abdominal discomfort and no other symptoms. Periods are normal and regular.

All bloods came back normal except CA125 - this is at 224.  I’ve had an ultrasound which has found some fluid and 4 large masses around my abdomen, potentially one linked to an ovary and another to my uterus.  The sonographer couldn’t see where the other 2 may be originating but they are quite spread.

I’ve been for a CT scan and currently waiting for results / next steps.  Could be another 2 weeks or so.  Doctors have suggested it might be cancer, although I have no history of cancer in my family so this came as a bit of a shock.   Has anyone had similar or know of any other benign conditions that could cause this.  The waiting for information is horrible and I know it can’t be diagnosed from a CT scan either so not sure how they test the masses and how long this will take.

Thanks you for reading x
