Thread: just diagnosed ovarian cyst & tumour high ca125 they want to take my ovary...scared

Hi there

last week i was admitted to hospital with suspected ectopic pregnancy. during a very painful ultrasound they found a large haemorraghic cyst and a dermoid cyst.i have been told my ca 125 levels r high. im 29 years old so i know i have age on my side (and being pre menopausal my levels can be high). consultant wants to take my whole ovary. this frightens me. i dont know, and wont know, til they open me up if it is malignant, what if it is

i dont want to lose one of my ovaries. i have one little boy and well i want another one
i know it wont reduce my chances having one removed but what if they have to take more??? obviously i have a little boy so they have to take what they have to so that im well for him

sorry for the rambling. my op date is week on monday

has anyone gone through this, what am i to expect??

i just cant stop crying. the pain doesnt help, nor does the sickness.

if anyone can help me id appreciate it
