CA125 above reccomended level

Hi. 

I'm new to this, I've had a bloated stomach for approximately 2 months, firstly I didn't think much of it and thought it would go be itself, it didn't so I went to the doctors and he wanted a blood test and an ultrasound doing, the blood test came back with my CA125 level at 47. The doctor called and wanted to see me and not to wait for the ultrasound and he did an internal himself and has now referred me. That's where I am so far, I am terrified and burst into tears all the time. The bloated stomach was the only symptom I have had so I really can't believe this is happening.

  • Hello,

    Thinking of you for your appt tomorrow, please let us know how it goes. We’ve just had lots of raised CA125 levels in our family as my auntie has had ovarian cancer and her twin (my mum) also got diagnosed with peritoneal cancer 2 months after my auntie. We are 11 months later now and all is going well, we are riding the wave of positivity at the moment, mums has chemo, surgery and is now on immunotherapy. 

    Really hope all goes well for you
