Hi Sandy66, 

It's normal to be worried about recurrence after noticing that your CA125 has been rising since April of this year especially given that you were diagnosed with primary peritoneal cancer in January 2024. I can imagine it has been such an anxious time for you and it's good that this is being investigated more closely with a CT scan and that you are seeing your oncologist to discuss the results. Unfortunately it's difficult to know what it might be but hopefully the medical experts will be able to shed some light on this soon and I am keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out to be fine.

It must be so hard for you at the moment to have to wait for answers and clarity as to what is going on and what could explain this rise in your CA125 and these issues with your tummy. While you are waiting, I thought I would share with you these helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news.

I hope that your appointment with the oncologist goes well on the 30th and that you will hear from other members of our community who have been through something similar and that they will be along shortly to share their experience with you. Keep us updated if you get a chance on what you find out. 

Best wishes,
