Raised ca125 and symptoms

Hi Eveyone.

i am new to the forum. Just looking for some other stories similar to mine really. I went to the doctor after noticing pain in my lower tummy for quite some time along with regular bloating. I had blood tests done and results came back same day with a raised ca125 of 38 and elevated ESR levels. I am aware the cut off is 35 so 38 doesn’t strike me as drastic but along with other symptoms I am quite worried. The past few days my tummy pains have since carried over to my lower back and I feel constantly nauseous (near enough on the verge of throwing up but never do) however I’m not sure if this is a symptom or from nerves. I have an appointment with gynaecologist for scan 20/08/18.

Now being referred for further scans and feeling anxious. Has anyone experienced this and still come away with normal results? 

  • Hi all 

    I am really concerned as during a routine MRI for unrelated issue in aug  last year (2018)a cyst was found on my left ovary bearing in mind I have no womb having had a hysterectomy for endometriosis kept my ovaries as I was 27 I am now 36. But for the last year I have felt rotten at the time I had a ca125 done which was 35 and just told it would go away however my symptoms have just gotten worse and worse bloating tired all the time can't eat sick and constipated I keep getting told that it's ibs I have finally gotten the doctors to listen and repeat bloods and they have booked a scan but really concerned about results due to symptoms can anyone give me advice thanks x

     

  • Hi angela1987

    my story is a little like yours, my first blood test of ca-125 was 67 which I paid and got a scan and it was normal, they repeated the bloods and now it's 77. They had referred me to gynaecology, I'm just wondering how you got on? X
