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.

  • Yes had a normal period for 5 days then it started again and was extremely heavy..and this is when the 1st test was taken so understand that 335 was elevated at the time- the pain was like period crmps x 1000 it was dreadful that what i suspected fibroids....but nothing at all

    The cT scan was done because i ended up in hospital with blood clots in my lungs after having covid and 1 of the meds to stop the bleeding and the Gynae team looked over it and didnt see anything and then confirmed that at the pelvic ultrasound.
