This is very scary. I know CA-125 marker test is not that reliable but at least it's SOMETHING.

I have yet to be diagnosed with anything even though I have been suffering for 8 years now. Acording to the statistics it takes approx. 8 years to get diagnosed so I have my fingers crossed. I am also at the point of not being able to wear any of my clothes. The bloat, cramping and nausea is there every day now. I've had colonoscopies that turned up nothing, a sonargram that turned up what they "assume" were burst ovarian cysts (along with ascites). All that was 4 years ago. No doctors were interested in follow-up even though my testosterone is through the roof. (And still is - the doctors just shrug.) I'm now trying to penetrate the barrier again and see if I can get a lap. Wish me luck!
