Cystic Mass with Internal Septations

[pretty_123]

Ok this is driving me crazy and i would like to know they found a cystic mass with internal septations. Does this mean i have ovarian cancer. My bowels have changed tremendously and i am miserable as heck.  My doctor have referred me to an Oncologist which scared me even more. Also they did CA125 blood test on me my markers  were good but they also performed a new blood test called ROMA and those markings were high. They said the mass is measures  7.5 times 6.6 times 5.4cm no normal left ovary seen. No free fluid. The ROMA blood test  reference range is 1.31 mines was 1.89. Please can someone tell me something. Also my appetite is going up and down.

Most ovarian cysts, even complex ones, are benign (non-cancerous). I know the CA125 test can have false positives (a high level when there is no cancer). But I am not familiar with the ROMA test. If you do not have a family history of ovarian cancer, then your lifetime risk is less than 2%.

Unfortunately, FAR too many women lose an ovary or ovaries (and even their uterus) unnecessarily. I lost both ovaries and my uterus for a 9.5cm benign ovarian cyst. My gynecologist used ovarian cancer scare tactics, sent me for an oncologist consult, and rushed me into surgery. Even though the frozen section done while I was in the operating room was benign, he proceeded to remove the rest of my organs. I aged horrifically fast and have struggled with the many life-shattering symptoms and issues of "surgical menopause."

If the cyst needs to be surgically removed, it is best to find a surgeon who does many cystectomies (cyst removals) so you have the best possible chance of keeping your ovary and its lifelong function of producing hormones that are essential for every aspect of health. Studies show the ovaries work into a woman's 80's. Removal of any part of the "reproductive" system can permanently disrupt / end the production of these hormones.

Keep in mind that fear makes for hasty and oftentimes poor decisions. We need to advocate for ourselves since we are the ones who have to live with the consequences. I hope this helps!

I am no doctor and have no clue. You really have to wait for the Oncology appointment. When is that I hope soon. The oncologist might not know until surgery. I do not know about the ROMA, I just had the CA125. Oncologists deal with complex cases not all are cancer. Even a benign cyst in the right place can cause a lot of symptoms.I know you are scared that is normal.
