Ovarian cancer concern

I have recently been feeling very fatigued and run down.  Had a bad back and lingering cough.  My CA 125 test has come back at 88.  Anything over 35 is classed as abnormal.  I’ve gone on google (I know I shouldn’t have!) and everything points you to ovarian cancer?!?! 

I wanted to ask if anyone else had had similar results re this test and what was their outcome? 

many

thanks

  • Welcome to the forum, woody123456.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling poorly latety, this persistent fatigue, back troubles, and lingering cough must be incredibly draining.

    While I can understand how turning to Google for information can be tempting, it's important to keep in mind that such online searches can often lead to anxiety, so if you can try to refrain from googling your symptoms.

    Hopefully, others who have had similar experiences will come along shortly to offer advice. That being said, if you feel like asking some questions to our team of nurses, they'd be happy to talk things over with you Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this freephone 0808 800 4040.

    I hope your concerns turn out to be nothing sinister.

    Best wishes,
