I had an upper abdominal ultrasound 2+ Months ago. This showed peritoneal and omentum cancer.

I then had a colonoscopy which was clear.

I was then given a request for cancer marker blood tests and a CT scan

The CT scan was inconclusive for finding a primary cancer.

My Ca 125 blood test was low at 83.

The report said it was probable gynaecological primary cancer.

I then had a gastroscope which was clear.

I had to wait again for a PET scan.

This confirmed again that I had peritoneal cancer that was “probably caused by a gynaecological primary cancer”.

Now I am waiting for a CT scan guided core biopsy of one of the peritoneal cancers.

I have also been referred to a Gynaecologist with advanced laparoscopic skills - who is over 300 kilometres away.

I am now wondering if I have primary peritoneal cancer.

My Mother died of Peritoneal Mesothelioma and have discovered that there may be a genetic link.

I am really worried and frustrated with waiting for each scan and test.
