Is A Cyst With A Normal CA125 Result Worrisome?

My GYN found a cyst measuring 7.46 cm. He did two CA-125 tests which came back with a score of 8. I did a CAT scan which came back normal, but I'm scared, because he's still sending me to GYN oncologist. He says he wants a second opinion on whether to watch or do surgery. I'm 38 and I don't have kids. Should I be scared ?

Dont be scared . the treatment for any cyst cancerous or non cancerous is surgery . either way it is removed the only addition would be chemotherapy if required based on stage .
Some type of cancers do not show up abnormal ca 125 results. So getting a second opinion is right.
