CA125 Level 43

Hi 

can anyone give me some advice ( calm my nerves) my CA125 level was 43 and on my doctor notes it says refer to NICE guideline 122. I know I shouldn’t Google things but this suggests Ovarian cancer. Is this the case? Could it be something else? I’ve been suffering from bloating, back and stomach ache and loosing control of my bladder ( urgent need to pee!)

please help!!

  • Hi I had an elevated ca125 blood test and it was suggested it could be Ovarian cancer but after more tests it turned out not to be .

  • Hi, what sort of other tests did they do? My ca125 came back at 41 so I’ve been referred to the hospital and now have an appointment this week. Less than 2 weeks since the blood tests were done and less than a week since I got the results back. So to say I’m panicking would be an understatement.

    theyve said I’ll need to have a scan but no idea if it’s a transvaginal one or a pelvic one and what other sort of “different tests” they might do while I’m there.

    how long did the first hospital appointment take?

  • Hi first appointment was a transvaginal ultrasound then straight to see the consultant lots of questions asked then told they would be doing a Hysterectomy straightaway ,to say I wasn't ready for that is an understatement but I thought it was better than having to go back to have it done ,I would say I was in there for at least 2 hours ,they removed a polyp fibroid and did some biopsies but thankfully they were able to say they didn't see anything nasty but to wait for the biopsy results which also showed nothing serious when I received the letter .
