Hi lady's iv just been diagnosed with endometriosis at the age of 21. This is my 3rd syst on my ovary in the past 12 months. I suffer with a lot of pain and some days I'm unable to walk. My doctor has send me for an ovarian cancer blood test and I am now awaiting the results. I'm just wondering if anyone else was sent for this blood test?

Yes, I think it is fairly routine. If you get a high reading it also indicates the presence of endometriomas. As well as other things, so it is rarely done as a test on its own. x
