Ovarian CA125 what were your results

I’ve just had a CA125 of 48.  Reading most people have a CA125 below 10!  What was your CA125 and what tests did you have once referred.

Starting to get scared of what’s next as I’ve had tons of tests that were all negative, two negative ultrasounds so I’m panicking that there’s nothing else left but bad news.  Daft I know because there are other reasons CA could be high.  I think I’m more nervous about not knowing what will happen at my hospital appointment.  I’m on a 2WW but told appointment won’t be arranged until next week.  GP only gives vague answers and receptionist didn’t want to discuss anything just kept telling me to wait for a phone call next week to arrange appointment.

  • Hi Kmz79,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I know it's never easy dealing with this sort of uncertainty, so I hope you are getting on OK.

    I can see you've had a reply from one of our nurses. There's not too much more I can add to that, but hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post here from other members of the forum, particularly anyone with similar experience to share.

    You can also search the forum (using the bar at the top of the page) for other potentially relevant discussions and people to connect with, if you would like to.

    I hope it's not much longer to wait for your appointment.

    Wishing you all the best,

  • Hello kmz79,

    Hope you are okay. 

    I am in a similar position apart from my doctor hasn't told me my levels, just that they are raised. 

    She has said she isn't concerned as there are various other reasons why a person could have a raised result, such as being on your period, being pre menopausal or a benign cyst. But as a precaution she is retesting my bloods and sending me for a scan as I have had other symptoms.

    As much as she has told me not to worry, obviously it's natural and I am anxious. I am waiting for a scan date and my blood retest is Wednesday. 

    I hope you get the answers you need soon, I know how you are feeling.
