CA125 blood test

Offline Jfluff 21 days ago

I am 47 year old. I have heavy periods. I have always found ovulation some months to be painful with some pain at the rear and side. Usually goes after 12 hours. Last month I had some slight spotting on day 14. Pinky/watery. Went to GP. Looks like I may be iron deficient which I suspected due to heavy periods and me being a vegetarian. I had bloods yesterday and my CS125 blood test has come back at 40. Now I'm terrified. I was being sent for a routine scan for the spotting so hopefully I will go sooner. I wondered if I had endometriosis. Is 40 really high?

40 really isn't that high and it's definitely not a test to diagnose cancer alone.

my story is very similar to yours, I also started getting pink discharge and I had a hysterectomy in June this year, turns out I had adenomyosis despite no sign of it on any scans. I'm 48.

Hope you are recovering well. Thanks for the reassurance. Spoke to GP and he is fast tracking me for a scan within 2 weeks. I just hope I have it soon as this weighing over me is terrible.
