Hi, I'm 33 years old ...GP did an urgent 2 week referral on 13/02/25 following raised CA125. Since then I've had the works! Lots of blood tests, ultrasound, MRI, CT, fine needle biopsy and then last week I had a laparoscopic biopsy. I initially went to the GP due to some random night sweats. Generally healthy other than very high BMI! 

CT says evidence of omental disease, peritoneal disease and I also have a 22cm Multi-cystic mass which they think is coming from my left ovary but not confirmed this yet. 

Fine needle biopsy came back inconclusive but said "suspicious for peritoneal carcinoma but unable to identify source". When I saw my consultant after this, she said they are more worried than they were and now want to rule out colorectal cancer.... Although I had a colonoscopy 3 years ago which was clear. 

Laparoscopy went well and they took tissue samples, did a flush and managed to have a look inside but were unable to check my bowel or pelvis because the mass was in the way! 

No idea how long the mass has been growing, definitely at least 6-8 months I think... I'm assuming it'll be stage 3C because of the spread... But desperate to know for sure what type and what my chances are! Such a scary time. Desperately trying to keep busy and stay positive. Hopefully get results next Friday Fingers crossedhas anyone else had similar symptoms/findings? 

I keep googling and scaring myself which isn't helpful!
