Raised CA125

I went to see my Gp a few weeks ago.:neutral: I had been having problems with lower leg swelling. He sent a raft of blood tests off all normal except my CA125 which has come back at 106. He has fast tracked me for pelvic  and abdominal ultrasound. Should I be worried??

  • Hello Helen1976

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some health problems which have now resulted in the Dr requesting further tests. It's understandable that you may be feeling anxious about things. 

    We know that for many people this period of uncertainty can be particularly difficult. It can often help to talk things through with someone and I wonder if you may find it useful to chat with one of our team of nurses. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any support and information that they can. If you'd like to chat with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
