Elevated ca 125 levels of 57 and referred for next day urgent scans

Hi, I have been getting bloating and low level pain in my upper left stomach and back for a few weeks; I went to the doctor for some tests a they do the CA 125 test. I got a call today saying my results were abnormal as they were coming back at 57, and I’ve been referred for urgent scans tomorrow. I’m trying to not panic but it’s so scary, especially as the urgent referral letter said ‘suspected cancer’. 

  • Hello Babblingchick

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some health concerns and that, following a raised CA125 resul,t you went for some urgent scans yesterday. 

    Were the hospital team able to give you any answers or reassurance when you saw them? Hopefull,y you have some more information by now, or you've been told that the results will be with your GP soon. 

    We know that for many people, this period of testing and uncertainty can be difficult. If it would help to chat things through with one of our nurses, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. 

    Do let us know how you got on when you're able to. 

    Best wishes,
