Raised CA 125

Hello,

My wife had a raised Ca125 of 77 and symptoms of bloating and pain.

She had a ultrasound scan today and the radiographer asked her when her follow up appointment was and wouldn't tell her about the scan. She said the consultant might want other tests to get the full picture.

I am an ex ICU nurse and this type of language has got me really worried, I have also noticed in posts that people have been told at the time of the scan it looks clear.

I know this is my wife's body but I am just asking for some feedback from people who may have gone through this ! 
any replies would be very much appreciated

Thank you in advance  

  • Hi Mistral4,

    I can understand this uncertainty must be worrying. It is quite common to not be told any results at the time of the scan, so hopefully the follow-up appointment isn't too far away and I hope you're able to find out more soon.

    My reply will boost your post, meaning a few more people should see it, so if there are others with similar experience then hopefully you'll receive further replies.

    Wishing you all the best,

  • Thank you 

    my wife had a normal ovary US result but they thought there may be a uterine polyp

    Hysteroscopy performed no polyp but endometrial thickening of 20.2mm.

    So now we're worried about endometrial CA 

    Thanks all
