Seen specialist after waiting 3 months and feeling bit stressed, should I be worried?

[clarelouise57]

I joined a while ago and in summary I had an ovary removed due to a benign tumour 2 years ago. Few months ago it was discovered I have another one around 7cm, they weren't sure what it was so saw ultrasound doc who said it looked benign to her and she would refer me. I saw the gynae consultant last week who said he has never known a case where a tumour has come back so fast and as he didn't like the rate it was growing would order CA125, LDH, CEA and he booked me in for surgery in 7 weeks. He is worried about me losing the ovary if it is benign so is starting laproscopy and then going open surgery if he can't separate. I don't have many symptoms apart from heavy periods, lots of pain like pressure and stitches and constipation but I think that is probably down to diet as been doing Dukan diet. If the tests are not normal how long will it be before they tell me?

Hi Clarelouise,

Your tests will probably be with the oncologist within a day or two. Try ringing to find out, and if that meets with no answers, go to your gp who will be able to access your file. I find that my GP takes the attitude that blood test results are my information, so there's never been any problem with getting hold of them. Good luck, and I hope it's good news!
