Green eyes, whatever it is, a gyn onc will know exactly what to do. Fear can be managed. You are going to take care of yourself one step at a time. Love to you. ❤

I had bilateral complex cysts. Had not had many symptoms but eventually couldn’t eat. I had debulking surgery and chemo. Chemo didn’t work but have bern on a clinical trial for 21 months. So even if it turns out to be ovarian cancer please don’t despair- there are a lot of treatments out there and more being developed. Fingers crossed for you- please let us know how you get on.

I completely understand the fear you are going through-but here is something that you should hold onto. I didn’t take a ROMA test, just the CA-125. I was told by my gynecologist not to panic if the score came back high, because it could mean a number of things. I don’t know how accurate the ROMA test is...I had complex masses on both ovaries. I requested removal of the ovaries and two weeks later I had the surgery. Pathology came back and the masses were benign. Don’t let your mind wander during this time of waiting. Get busy and be productive. I finally got to the point of saying to myself-well if it turns out to be the worst case me worrying won’t change the outcome. If you are a person of faith, talk to God. I relied heavily on the support of friends and family and my faith to help me get through the waiting period. Wishing you all the best on a healthy outcome!

The hardest part is the waiting, my surgery is Thursday and I have to remember to take one day, hour, minute and second at a time.

We are forced to be stronger and more courageous than we ever thought we could be. I wanted to run 🙂 away. Remember you're not alone, you are brave and we're here for you.

Thank you so very much. Means more thank I could ever express..... I am scheduled to have my appt with ONC on 10/17. I should then get a surgery date for the SOONEST POSSIBLE TIME. Have a doctor tell u that, "clinically" I have malignancies, but havent been able to be SURGICALLY evaluated for confirmation until now. God has his reasons.....Just taking it one day at a time, sometimes one minute at a time. Will update after appt. Until then💖💖💖
