Increasing CA-125

I had a CA-125 blood test after my third session of chemo, it came back at 13, another test was done a month later it had increased by 1 to 14, they put the increase down to me having had Covid.I finished my chemo on the 21st, October, I had bloods done on Friday ready for my oncology appointment, my ca- 125 has come back, it has increased to 20. I have asked for my appointment with the oncologist to be face to face. I had a CT scan two and half weeks ago, scan results haven’t come through yet.

I feel very anxious.

  • Hi Jue61,

    I hope it's not long for you to wait for your appointment - I can understand that the uncertainty and the waiting is difficult to deal with.

    Hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post here soon.

    As I say, I hope you get the information you need soon, and in the meantime we are always here if you need it.

    Wishing you all the best,
