attended my gyn for repeat sear on fiday ( diAGNOSED with stage 1 cervical cancer april 2007) A Transvginal ultrasound was also done as a previou scan had shown asmall cystn December 2007. Sonographer stated no cyst seen but said there was excess fluid surrounding my right ovary. He  then asked a few Q's re my family history, maternal grandmother had ovarian cancer! Then advised I would have some blood taken and possibly a laparoscopy later. Now waiting for blood test results
Should i be concerned?

You didn't mention your age. .. The blood test was probably a CA-125. The reason I asked about your age is that the test is not terribly reliable in a younger woman.. with a menopausal woman, it is somewhat more reliable. .
  Let us know regarding the scheduled laparoscopy and the ca-125. There are a lot of us here that have had the procedure.. so keep in touch,

Sandy
