Freaking out about possible ovarian cancer
Leanna06-25-2004, 07:02 PMI have a small cyst on my right ovary (2 cm X 2 cm). My gyn sent me for a CA125 test and the result came back at 86 (which is high). I am now freaking out that I might have ovarian cancer. Of course I can't get a hold of my gyn, the staff called with the result. Are the CA 125 tests accurate? Can anyone give me words of reassurance?
Thanks.

Try not to worry too much and let us know how you are.
all the best,

My doctors were astonished. So, you never know. Take Care. And don't just ignore it, look into the results and get to the bottom of the problem. Bye ... Nicole :angel:
