Hello and thank you for your post.
I am sorry to hear that you are having tests and investigations. I can appreciate your concern about the CA125 level however until more is known will you know if this indicates you have cancer.
The CA125 is far from a perfect test, it measures inflammation and this is not always due to having cancer. It looks like you may need further tests and possibly a biopsy, so until then will you know what is the matter.
I hope you have support from family and friends. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
Take care,
Caroline
