well that’s it , been hit by a truck again . It’s finally hit me that it’s going to happen , seen my consultant she was not worried about my CA125 at 40 could be my normal, thought I may have had a twisted ovary when I got bad pain and went to A&E but as a lady of a certain age she wants to do a full hysterectomy and explained she wants it’s all looked at , I know that’s good but still I’m worried sick , sat here on my own and over thinking

Slow down Cazy1010. It’s going to be fine and the whole thing will be settled once it’s done and they have the results. Sounds like a twisted ovary is painful and the type of thing that sends your ca125 up a little. So it’s all good. Deep breaths! xx

Cazy1010 it is the fear of the unknown. You will be in good hands with your consultant. Please let us know how you get on.

Love and hugs Beth x

Hi! Try to keep calm and think of the positives. I was in the same position around 20 years ago. I’d never had an op, had some symptoms but thank goodness that I did have that op (full hysterectomy and omentomy). They looked at the histology and I had stage one ovarian cancer. It was slow growing and my surgeon said, ‘I think I’ve got it all out’.

So far, so good 🤞. I now do some volunteer support work and awareness raising talks for groups. The main point of these is to push for early diagnosis. Survival rates are so much improved by this. So it’s good that your medical team is on the ball, you’re getting early treatment.

To prepare yourself, have a good look at the support in all the info on the Ovacome website - fact sheets…- I think there’s one on going into hospital too which is helpful to look at when you’re packing. If you can’t find it, message me!

Try to keep busy and be reassured that once you get in the system it will feel as if you’re in the hands of the experts, which you are!

All the very best

Love, Wendy xx
