Bloating bleeding at 58 getting Ca125 test fit test and scan

Hi me again 

I'm not a member of this forum but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.

Hope the blood test goes well today and you don't have too long to wait to see a specialist.

Hi sorry you are going through this experience. I see you have a blood test today, hopefully the results will be helpful and fingers crossed reassuring. I’m also sorry to read about your parents history of cancer. My parents both passed away from cancer , pancreatic and prostrate . When I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer I was also tested for faulty genes which could cause cancer. I am BRCA 2 positive. Might be worth asking your GP if you could be referred for genetic testing. Hope you get on ok today. Take care xx

Thank you Sem.24.

Sorry to hear you've had cancer too.My mum was tested for the Braca genes and was told she doesn't have it.

They tested her as she responded twice to chemo and had the debulking operation and is still here 17 yrs later from a stage 4 diagnosis.

Bloods and fit test done now I wait.

Do you mind me asking what symptoms made you go to the doctor's.

I've had bleeding bloating and constipation.Xx

The waiting for test results is so hard , hopefully you won’t have to wait too long. To be honest I didn’t have symptoms of OC . I had a CT of my chest due to having a cough and a mass was seen at the top of my abdomen, it was quite by chance that it was picked up. Your mum has done amazing 17 years . Sounds like no genetic brca changes on your mums side , do you know anything about your dad. It was explained to me that my faulty gene could have been inherited from either of my parents as there is a link to prostrate cancer and OC. I hope you’re not in too much discomfort . Take care , and be kind to yourself. Xx
