Ca 125 elevated and normal ultrasound

Hi!

I’m 33 and recently visited my GP because of bloating and abdominal pain. He ordered a ca125 that came back 37 (2 points above the expected range). He then ordered an ultrasound that came back negative. I am now worried that there’s something wrong with me and they are missing it. Does anyone have a similar story?

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, Lau3131.

    I'm sorry to hear about your concerns. It's not uncommon for CA125 levels to fluctuate, and the negative ultrasound is a positive aspect. However, it's essential to discuss your worries with your GP for a comprehensive understanding. Many here have faced similar situations and I hope some of them will stop by soon as sharing experiences can be helpful.

    In the meantime, if you feel that speaking to someone with a medical background might help, please know our team of nurses are available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this freephone 0808 800 4040.

    Best wishes,
