CA125 results worry

Hi all…

I’ve been experiencing unexplained fatigue and dizzy spells, along with irregular (and now have seemed to have stopped) periods. I also have slot of bloating and cramps which come and go.

After many blood tests, they checked my CA125 which was at 90.

I am extremely nervous and this wait for the scan feels so overwhelming. 

I’m wondering if anyone else has any experience they can share?

And if anyone else has experienced similar symptoms - particularly periods stopping - and a high CA125. 

thank you

    I am so sorry to hear you have experienced all these symptoms recently. As you will read on this page, the CA125 "can also be raised for other reasons that are not related to cancer" so hopefully the scan will shed some light on what is going on. Waiting for tests and results can be overwhelming and I thought I would share with you these tips to help you cope during this anxious time. 

    So many members of our forum have posted before to share their concerns about their raised CA125 and they may have also experienced similar symptoms and were also anxious about these results and the further tests or scans that may have been required. I hope that they will pop by shortly and share their experience with you.  It helps to talk to others who have been in a similar place before. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that you get some clarity soon and it all turns out to be nothing very concerning

    Best wishes,
