Ca125 elevated levels

Hi, I'm 28 and have just found out my CA125 level is 40 i must add that i was on my period when i had this test done, not sure if thats why it was elevated but I've been having some bloating occasionally, feeling full, stomach and back pain and fatigue, struggling with heavier periods,lost of libido and painful intercourse, I'm absolutely petrified I've got ovarian cancer, I've just been referred for a scan but I feel like I've already been told it's cancer, I've read so much online and I've just freaked myself out, I have a young daughter and I'm scared it's cancer, anyone else had these symptoms and it's been okay.

  • I’m due for my blood test on Monday and waiting for an ultrasound and bowel test, the pain in my right hand side of stomach is getting worse daily, I’m bloated and my legs ache, I’ve got lower back pain and some discharge  I also have low appetite but I wonder if this is caused by anxiety and stress? Iam due to go abroad on my hen do in a weeks time and I feel awful that Iam so stressed and not looking forward to it when people have paid a lot of money to go.  If I feel like this or worse in a weeks time I don’t know what I’ll do! I can’t concentrate on anything I just keep goggling symptoms and have convinced myself it’s cancer, I’ve previously had a hysterectomy 5 years ago due to fibroids but kept my ovaries.  I feel your stress ! 

  • I've had my results back now and  have endometriosis, but those few weeks of waiting was he'll you always think the worse, I hope your results are okay.
