CA125 test result 90

(9th Dec)

Hi. I'm a 46 year old female and I've been having abdominal/gastric problems since last December after coming off the contraceptive pill in August 2019. My symptoms seemed to get worse monthly and seemed to tie in with my monthly periods. I had blood tests done last week and found out that my CA125 result was 90. I'm now on a two week wait for an urgent scan to find out if I have ovarian cancer. I'm pretty terrified to be honest and wanted to know if anyone out there has experienced the same type of situation?

Thanks

**Update 18th Dec - had my ultrasound yesterday that looked at my upper abdomen, lower pelvic area and ovaries. The sonographer was able to give me information at the time. She found nothing glaringly obvious of concern and said my ovaries looked fine. She said that the bowel is never very visible  on an ultrasound so my gp may want to look into that further. It's a really good outcome and i just wanted to post this update to reassure anyone who may have a raised ca125 that it's not always  bad news. Hope this helps. :happy:
