CA125 raised levels

This week I went to see my GP with perimenopausall issues. I mentioned to him that I feel my stomach up to my ribs is bloated and tight and feels uncomfortable.  He said he would add some further tests to the hormone bloods to mark for any tumours.  And a pelvic and stomach ultrasound wodo be ordered as well. Within 24 hours y bloods came back abnormal raised at 59. I am now on 2 week pathway to see gynae and have further tests. Peopl keep trying to reassure me that it might not be the big C but as I read more I realise I have been experiencing Ovarian cancer symptoms but thought it was just me putting on weight. 

All my our bloods came back normal including the hormones which are strange as I havery multiple menopausal symptoms that are ruined the quality of my life.

I am 46 and am going crazy having to wait.

  • What symptoms did you have with pcos and were your hormone levels normal considering you was diagnosed with pcos x

  • They do say if its raised under 100 it could be down to other things such as fibrosis, cysts, periods but it's so scary I spose in everyone head a raise is a raise no matter how high and we want to know why. You could maybe try making another telephone appointment at your gp when one tends to not care I try again and sometimes another gp will do it for you expecially when your scared. I really hope it goes well and your wedding so hard to put to the back of your mind I'm so scared I have a scan tomorrow but I know they won't be able to tell me any results so will have to wait until. Next week to make gp appointment it's the wait and not knowing that's so hard x

  • Hi there, I've suffered on off with gyne problems like BV thrush, strep B .... but recently I've had shocking back ache going down my left side into my leg and bum... i also have really heavy irregular periods.I went to gp and had a Ca125 test which came back at 46 so been referred for internal ultrasound. I am so nervous I can't help but think it's going to be something sinister ..... I'm 29 with two daughters has anyone else had anything t similar. Thanks Chelsey 

  • Hi I know it's hard not to worry. My first bloods where 56. And I was red flag to gynaecologist. She seen pcos. Done bloods again and they went up to 67. Had ct scan. Results came back clear. I had abdominal pain and lower back pain. But was coming from gynae conditions.
