Bit of a shock call 2 days ago. Quick overview:
Mum passed from ovarian cancer in 2005.
June 2022 had CA125 done which was 31 followed by scan which showed a cyst on right ovary but all normal however, GP requested repeat CA125 in 6 months.
January 2023 CA125 risen to 39
March 2023 scan showed right ovarian cyst had become haemorrhagic
May 2023 repeat scan. Cyst still haemorrhagic. CA125 repeated & risen to 87.
August 2023 - laparoscopic surgery - right ovarian cyst removed, right ovary removed, right fallopian tube removed
25/10/23 CA125 blood test repeated and returned to within normal range - 23
That brings us to today. Had repeat CA125 Wednesday (5 days ago) and GP called me 2 days ago to say it’s risen again to 113 so she’s putting me on the urgent suspected cancer list for a scan.
She said it could just be a cyst on the left ovary so I’m keeping everything crossed this is what it is.
Has anyone experienced similar? I’m genuinely shocked as I thought it would remain around 23 but to have risen again has taken me by surprise.
