Raised ca125

Hi! I'm 46 and for the last 4 weeks have been experiencing distended belly and indigestion. At first I attributed the increase in waist size to gaining weight but noticed that my belly is not going down even first thing in the morning. I went to the GP and had some blood test done. My ca125 was 47 which is above normal of course. I have been referred to an urgent scan and 2ww gynaecology. This is of course worrying me and have cried my eyes out on the day I was told of my blood test result. Has anyone experienced same symptoms as I did? 
 

  • Hi

    Oh thats so good to hear.

    I eventually got my follow up supposed to be end October but I think they forgot me and called 2 days before christmas.  They said I had Endometriosis and the mass they removed was fine and signed me off all good.  Certainly explained years of issues but its all over now and I am doing fine.

    Hopefully you will get your surgery very soon and be able to get on with enjoying life and no more worrying.

    Always here if you need to off load or ask someone thats gone through it.

    Take care
