Hey, its my first time on here and my reason for joining is that I have a slightly raised C125 its 39. So my doc is rusing through my scan but she said I could still wait 3 weeks. 

Has anyone experienced back ache. I have back ache anyway but generally on when I'm on my period but for this last month its been every day.

I am worried and I do have a history of ovarian cysts. I had  huge one 20 years ago 

Im just hoping its nothing serious 

  • Hi Burke and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm sorry to hear of your back pain and for the worry CA125 results are causing but I hope it helps to know that a raised CA125 level does not enecessarily mean you have cancer, as it can also be caused by other conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids and even pregnancy. 

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in this situation will share their experiences with you soon but I hope this article on how to cope with waiting for news will keep your worries at bay whilst you wait.

    Fingers crossed for good news Burke.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
