Hi Maureen, up until last Janauary my periods were like clockwork. Then in
January i got one that lasted 3 weeks. I continued spotting and finally had an
ultra sound. It showed a 2" by 1" cyst on my left ovary with solid spots.
After the doctor watched it for 3 months for changes I finally decided to have
it taken out. During that time I had leg cramps and a cramp in my lower back
that wouldnt go away. There was always a pain in my lower left abdomen. After
the surgery I found out it was Endometriosis and they needed to remove the
ovary. I too wanted to take a Ca125 test but if you read about it, it can give
false readings, as in my case, the endometriosis would have made it appear I had
cancer. Are you getting regular pap tests?
