Hi Everyone,
So bit of a scary time for me as is for everyone on here I'm guessing. I have just had MRI and CT scan done and they have found 2 cysts one 9cm and one 4cm they I also have alot of fluid in the abdomen and they have found some nodules on my peritoneal, also my CA125 numbers are like 1322 at the moment so im just waiting diagnosis but my consultant said it looks highly likely to be cancer of the ovaries that has started to spread out of the ovaries. Has anyone had a bipsey of the tisse in the abdomen before was it ok? I know i probably sound stupid but I am such a wuss I hate needles. Also, im kind of freaking out im only 33 and this all came out of the blue so any good stories would be really nice to hear.
oh thank you so much that makes me feel better I was abit worried about it
Don't worry it's so important, from that biopsy you will have a plan I found this was the game changer for me I'm half way through 6 cycles of chemo and after 2 my ca125 has come down. It's only a marker but take every step as a positive. Let us know when you get your plan somone on here will have a similar plan and will help you through it. Fingers crossed for you and virtual hugs.
Thanks so much, I've not got my biopsy until the the 7th of Jan, I know it sounds daft and that I've probably had this for months but I am so worried about it spreading I just want to know what the plan of action is. Thanks so much for your advice, I am so glad that your halfway through your treatment hopefully this will all be a distant memory for you soon and you will have kicked its ass!! xx
Hello , I'm sorry you're feeling frightened, it is a very scary time. For me, once a plan was in place , things just became much easier, and once my op was done (although quite brutal) I felt much happier. I hope the 7 Jan comes quickly for you.
I hope you have an ok Christmas at this difficult time.

Thanks so much, it's such a weird feeling I'm normally a really happy and positive person and I love Christmas so I'm trying to just act normal and be myself. But it's just abit like a dark cloud hovering in my peripheral all the time, I don't know I think I'm still in denial, I think I will be until I start treatment to be honest. Even when the consultant was telling me what was wrong it felt like he could have been speaking about someone else because I don't feel that ill. Does that make sense, How's Christmas for you this year? I hope you have a lovely time regardless of what's going on xx
Hi - I had the same, and the biopsy was fine - the worst bit really is that I had to lie a bit awkwardly so the surgeon could get to the right bit! Everyone will tell you that now is probably the worst bit - waiting to find out what is going to happen - once you start getting results and get a plan things somehow become easier. There's nothing wrong with being in denial if you can't actually change anything anyway! It's good that you don't feel that ill, so if you can carry on and keep ignoring that dark cloud, very soon you'll have a plan to focus on. Wishing you well x
has anyone had a laparascopic biopsy? my CT one didnt work it was to small so now i'm off to Liverpool womans for another one. If so how long did it take you to recover from it just out of curiosity? thanks so much for any help x
