Surgery coming Tuesday

Hello friends,

Anxiety is arising, I am scheduled for my Omentectomy and at the same time take a look see for any suspicious activity. I had a complete hysterectomy already do that's done. Pre op labs look good all normal, even the CA125 came down from 514 to 295. No metastases else where. My doctor doesn't paint a real happy story which has stressed me out, but I guess that is their job. I feel that since I am and never have been symptomatic(the omental cake was found on a CT following my other friends the kidney stones) I think this was caught real early.

What I don't know is why is the CA125 come down? and what is bad high vs concerning high?

Well thank you all and Bless you for being here..

Roxanne

Hi Roxanne

Just wanted to say that I hope it goes well for you. Sounds like you've got lots of questions for your team- perhaps once the surgery is done they will be in a better position to answer? Could you write down all your questions and while you're in hospital you should get a chance to ask and keep asking until you are satisfied... very best wishes xx

Sorry can't answer your questions but wanted to send you best wishes and positive vibes for Tuesday . Only natural that you will be getting anxious. Try and stay busy preparing things to make life easier when you get home . As suggested good idea to write down all your questions for your team . Before you know it you will be back home and recovering ready to enjoy the summer . Love and best wishes .

Stay strong love Kim X
