I've never had one done so I don't know what to tell you. I'm sorry. I hope everything goes well for you. I can understand why you are so nervous I would be too, but just try to stay positive. I'll say a prayer that your test goes well for you.

No one ever wants any illness to slow them down. I can only imagine what you are thinking and wish I could put your mind at ease. Just try your best to relax (I know it's probably wishful thinking) but you need to rest up as much as you can for tomorrow and until you get the results back. I've been tested for cancer when I was 11 and again at 24, luckily negative, but it was still scary to think about and was always in the back of my mind no matter what I was doing. Just try your best to stay calm in a hectic situation and I'm sure you'll pull through no matter what the outcome. I'll make sure to pray again for you tomorrow too, what time is your test so I'll make sure to have a ringer go off so I pray at that same time?

I work in the medical field (but not a nurse, so don't ask me questions. LOL!) and use www.labtestsonline.org to look up lab stuff I don't know about. I think it's your basic blood draw, don't be worried about that.

Well wishes coming your way.......

It's just bloodwork...they can use a butterfly needle if you're too scared of a regular one.

I've had CA125's done because of genetics. It's not a big deal. There are false positives and false negatives. A biopsy will definitively tell if cancer is present or not, not the CA125.

I hope everything is fine. icon_smile.gif

I had myself tested a few years back; it's just a regular blood draw.

You'll be in my thoughts tomorrow icon_smile.gif

Sending you a BIG HUG now!

Feel free to whine, that's what we are here for!! You are going through a major thing, or at least getting yourself majorly worked up!! LOL!! I didn't mean to make it sound like I was blowing you off, but didn't want you to think I knew anything either. I'm just a slave to the doctors. icon_smile.gif

I had a mammogram at 21 for a lump, so I know how it feels to go through things like that. I also had my son at 19 and thought he had cystic fibrosis. They found something on an ultrasound that looked like a problem with his bowels, then I found out I carried the CF gene, and we couldn't have him tested until he was born, obviously. Very scary last few months of my pregnancy.

It's okay to whine and be scared. Eat some cake and let us know how you are doing!

Hope everything went okay for ya.
