Hi Gardner21 and welcome to the forum.

I'm sorry to hear your ca125 levels are raised and for the worry they and your current symptoms are causing.

As you'll see on the target ovarian cancer website, many different things such as endometriosis, your period and ovarian cysts can cause the level of ca125 in your blood to rise but it's good to hear your GP is being thorough and referred you for a scan to make sure everything is ok.

Hopefully some of our members who have also contended with elevated ca125 levels will be along soon to share their experiences and advice but if you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

We're thinking of you Gardner and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
