Should be: As long as the anesthesiologist knows of your medical history this should be a simple & safe procedure. There are anesthesia gasses that actually help stop a serious asthma event, although they have many others to choose from. I wuld not loose any sleep over this issue.

Ca125 test 7 months ago, raised at 54, repeat test raised at 95, pelvic ultrasound clear. Repeat ca125 back down to 52. Hysteroscopy - benign polyp, removed. If this rise in ca125 was caused by ovarian cancer, would I have symptoms after 7 months?
