Hi

Ca125 raised at 46 two years ago. Had a post menopausal heavy bleed went to doctors to get tablets to stop the bleed. Doctor referred me for Tvus which showed thickened Endometriom 17mm and what they thought was ovarian cyst.
Got biopsy of Endometriom and going for CT scan now for a better look at ovary.  
 Ca125 raised now to 198.

Anyone had similar experience and got an benign outcome rather than a malignant one?

 

 

  • Hey Rae_K, 

    I'm sorry to hear your CA levels have increased but I hope it helps to know that a raised CA125 level isn't necessarily a sign of cancer, as mentioned on the NHS website.

    Many of our members have been in similar situations so you are not alone on this journey and I'm sure it won't be long before you receive some support and get to hear about their experiences.

    In the meantime, if you have any questions or would just like to talk things through with someone, then our friendly and informative team of cancer nurses are just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Wishing you all the best with your upcoming tests Rae_K. 

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
