Hi,

I am sorry for posting especially when I have read what you are all going through. I am just really worried and hoping for some advice or positive experiences.

I am 42 years old and haven't been feeling great for a few months now. Lower abdominal cramps, lower back pain always really tired, nausea and bloating. I went to the doctor early September and she ran some blood tests. They all came back normal except for CA125 which was 79.

I was referred to gynaecology who examined me and said there was nothing obvious. I also got an pelvic ultrasound which thankfully was clear.

Gynaecology have said they want my doctor to repeat the CA125 blood test and investigate my bowel.

I am so relieved that it obviously isn't ovarian cancer but now I am worried about bowel problems. Is an increased CA125 related to bowel problems?

Thank you for any advice :-)
