My CA125 is 192 so elevated & symptoms

Terrified. 47 years old and have endometriosis and adenomyosis- had a blood test and my lymphocytes very low at 15, neutrophils slightly high, meaning I have a very elevated NLR ratio of 5. My ca125 also crazy high at 192. And kidneys eGFR only 59. I did have a vomiting virus/food poisoning a week before my tests and was also on Day 2 of my period….hoping these can help explain it and nothing more sinister. I have however lost my appetite last few months, bloated more than usual 24-7, going to the loo more and heartburn noticeably worse last few months too. Really hoping it’s not cancer related and just down to endometriosis and something benign… Anyone had anything similar? So terrified. Any feedback appreciated thanks :)

  • Hi Fran222,

    I'm sorry to hear about these symptoms and it can be natural to think the worst when you're worried about cancer, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. The NHS website has some information on living with endometriosis and adenomyosis, which I hope will be useful.

    I hope you're next appointment goes ok and don't be afraid to ask questions so your doctor can help you take all the information in. Hopefully there are some options for relieving your symptoms.

    Best wishes,

    Anastasia
