CA-125 results
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi,
My gynecologist (in Poland) found a cyst on my righy ovary, he asked me to do CA-125 test. I've been referred by my english GP and.... I AM WAITING! They asked to come back a week after giving a blood sample but the result is still not there.. How long did you wait? This waiting is driving me crazy - last year I was waiting because of thyroid tumor and now this cyst...

i waited three weeks in the end I called my consultants secretary, she said she would be unable to give me the results but would ask the consultant to call back if they were back, which he did the next day and they were fine, same time he gave me my ct scan. I don't think they realise how much stress it causes just waiting
hope this helps

you don't say how old you are, I'm 50 and I think the older you are the higher the risk. I totally understand you worrying from finding mine to op was eigt weeks and I mentally tormented myself but I found this site really helpful, especially when I knew others were getting same symptoms. They may be waiting to see if it is elevated. They then can do a two week referral urgently to get you to consultant. I would just keep ringing and pestering . I know they don't normally do anything under five cms but as yours is double they should be referring you .

Yep, I've seen 2 doctors, I think I will change the surgery, cos it's not a first time I have problem with them.
I will call them tomorrow, maybe results will be there, I will keep updating what is going on.

They were raised but ovarian cysts can cause this elevation so I'm trying not to worry too much. I was rushed through for a CT scan though and told if there was any cause for concern I'd be taken straight in but thankfully the CT scan was ok so I'm scheduled in for surgery on the 7th July.

You know, I'm tired cos I had same story last year but with tumor on my thyroid, now ovaries. I called private surgery and they said results are next day, so you can see it's NHS slowing down. I know there are people with worse problems, wish everyone get a proper and fast treatment.
