Raised ca125

Hello, so I have just had another ca125 come back as raised at 259 it was originally 101 then 141.. I had biopsy and ct scan to check for anything sinister which came bac clear but I had another ca125 which has come back raised again at 259. I do have fibroids and was told this was the reason but the fact they are just rising and rising do I need to be concerned ? 

  • Hello there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear you are undergoing some tests and appreciate a rise in ca125 must be worrying you. 

    As you know a raised ca 125 can be linked to some gynaecological cancers but it is also raised when there is inflammation in the pelvic region and fibroids can also increase the ca125 in the blood.

    It seems the doctors have carried out tests that have all come back clear, which is reassuring and I am sure if there were any suspicions about what was going on they would be carrying out more tests.

    Do talk to your doctor about this when you can so you can discuss your concerns and so they can hopefully give you some peace of mind or a plan of action moving forward.

    All the best
