Hello
All came a little out of the blue, had a tender abdomen in April and blood tests showed raised level of CA125. I was referred to Gyno and on their 6 month waiting list.
6 weeks later, I’d gone up three trouser sizes and was so uncomfortable, went back to the doctors who confirmed they could feel something and sent me for bloods again which showed a raise in CA125 again. Then I was put on an urgent referral to be seen in two weeks. Everything has just been full steam since then!
I’ve had a football sized cyst (which weighed over a stone!!!) and a smaller one removed as well as a full abdominal hysterectomy.
I’ve since found out that they were tumours and I am starting chemo next week, feeling a little anxious!
