Ca125 higher then should be plus symptoms

Hi 

So the last 6 months I havnt felt right. I've had a very bloated stomach most of the time, Pain in lower tummy and sometimes lower back and also very gassy.  I had blood tests and my ca125 was 64 and I know the normal range is 35. I actually got told this night before I was flying to live abroad and need further scans and testing.. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had same or similar and what was the outcome ? I've got bad anxiety about it all and googling brings up the worse scenario please let me know your story's - thanks

    Hi Kmac,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am so sorry to hear of your symptoms, particularly at such a momentous time in your life. I am a breast cancer lady and, know little about your symptoms. Hopefully, someone with more experience of them will come along soon.

    The reason for my reply, is to let you know that we usually advise people to stay clear of consulting Dr Google at this stage. Much of the information is poorly researched, out of date and aimed at the spectacular cases and, will only serve to scare you further.

    I do hope that you get some answers soon, as our imaginations always hone in on the worst case scenario. Irrespective of the outcome, which I hope will be good, you will feel better once you know what you are dealing with.


    Please keep in touch and, remember that we are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine
