Ovarian cancer after melanoma.

Hi, 

I was diagnosed with melanoma in 2012 and am not being investigated for ovarian cancer after raised CA125 levels and a number of different symptoms. 
 

Has anyone else had overian cancer after melanoma? 
 

xx TIA

  • Hello Mommyofgirlies, 

    I am sorry to hear you are finding yourself having to go through ovarian cancer investigations after having raised CA125 levels and various other symptoms. CA125 levels can be raised for all sorts of reasons other than cancer so try not to worry too much as there could be so many other conditions that trigger these symptoms and raised CA125 levels. 

    Whatever is causing this, it is not necessarily linked to the melanoma diagnosis from ten years ago. I hope that you will get some definite answers soon and that it all turns out to be nothing too concerning. 

    Hopefully you will hear from others on the forum who are going through similar investigations at the moment and there may be other members here who have also had a history of melanoma combined with similar issues who will I hope be along to share their experience with you. 

    Everything crossed that everything turns out to be ok for you.

    Best wishes,
