Today I had a call, regarding a raised CA125 level. They have said it was borderline being just on the 35 mark, now having to go for an urgent ultrasound. Has anyone else been here and can help me in what to think?
I'm sorry to hear your recent ca125 test results showed that your levels were borderline.
I know this must be worrying, especially as you've now been referred for an ultrasound, but try not to panic or think the worst if you can. Easier said than done I know, but a raised ca125 level can indicate many things, not just cancer, as you can see just here.
If you'd like to discuss this in more detail with one of our cancer nurses, they'll be available from Tuesday onwards on 0808 800 4040 between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very helpful and will do all they can to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.
We're thinking of you Lottiepop and wishing you all the best with your ultrasound.
Yes, it can be a tad overwhelming and a bit of a minefield at times but I do hope the link has helped make this easier to understand.
That's great you don't have to wait too long for your scan although I know the next week will be tough. Hopefully some of the advice given in this article will help until then.
