question: Hi, I've been experiencing tail bone pain and pelvic pains so went to my gp. I had a blood test which came back with a CA125 reading of 68 so my gp arranged an ultrasound scan the result of which fibroids and a cyst on my left ovary of 8cm were detected. I have health cover so went to see a consultant who has advised either removal of the cyst and ovary or removal of both ovaries, cyst and my uterus. I'm 51 and I'm going through the menapause. My health otherwise is good. I'm a keen runner and cyclist so very active, slim 5' 4" and weigh 53kg, don't smoke eat reasonably healthily. My gp tested my sugar levels and cholesterol  both of which were fine.
