Ca125

Hi I'm new here. Got into see a nurse as cudnt see a doctor I had tonsillitis 6weeks ago and my right tonsil keeps flaring up and have a really bad pain above bellybutton and a lump feeling in my throat anyway she wouldn't look in my throat as only allowed to talk about 1 thing. She felt my stomach and said sending you for a blood test and scan. I noticed my blood test said a ca125 so googled it, because the nurse said nothing else to me I'm worried sick.  Just had blood test should get results Tuesday no scan date yet. I'm so stressed out. Why would she request this and no explain anything? Has anyone else had symptoms like this 

  • Hi Deedee and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    Unfortunately, only your nurse can tell you why this was requested so when the results come back next week, try and ask about this so your mind can be put at ease.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar situation will share their thoughts and experiences with you soon but if you'd like to discuss this in more detail with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    We'll have our fingers crossed that you get an appointment through for your scan soon and that your blood tests results bring good news.

    All the best,
