Ca125 raised levels

Hello hope every one is safe.

 

I was told in the past that I had premenstrual cysts and had suffered alot with pain. I dont have periods due to having the lining of cervix lazered due to heavy periods. I've not had periods for 5 years now. The last 2 months I have suffered pain on the left side of groin bloated stomach changes in bowls an the urge to urinate more also suffering ibs. I had a scan an blood tests last week. The scan showed I had cysts with blood in on my right ovarie an fibroids in womb. Thou my pain is left side. My doctor rang me again today with more results from bloods saying my ca125 level should be 36 but is well in its 200s an has referred me to see a specialist asap. Very worrying as I'm trying not to Google but I'm showing all signs of ovarian cancer.  

  • Hello Lea1976,

    I know it's difficult, but try not to worry. You haven't been diagnosed, so it's important to go for further tests. When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers online, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. I hope your next appointment goes ok and it can help to write down any questions you have beforehand.

    Take care,
