Hi. I have been excessively bleeding for 6 weeks now loosing large clots at a time. Have been put on tranexamic acid  twice and microgynon pill now and nothing is slowing. I have had some bloods done and CA125 came back at 45 and have a scan on Saturday. I have back ache and lower abdomen aches and feel rubbish. Has anyone else had something like this and its come back not cancerous. I'm only 25 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, Bjp95.

    I'm sorry to hear about your situation, it sounds like you're having a rather rough time with all the bleeding and pain. With losing so much blood I can appreciate why you're worried but I'm glad you're having your symptoms investigated.

    Hopefully others who have been in a similar situation will come by shortly to chat with you and offer reassurance but until then try to take your mind off things, you've done everything you could up to now and stressing yourself over won't help much.

    Good luck with your scan on Saturday, we're keeping our fingers crossed it will come back clear.

    All the best,

    Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
