Ca125 scare

Hi there.

Back in August I had a suspected rupture of ovarian cyst. My CA125 at time was 41 and three months later was 43. The ultrasound was normal with nothing detected. I’ve receny been under the weather with shingles and sinus issues so my GP ordered a lot of bloods including a repeat of the CA125....

im going out of my mind with worry as CA125 has risen to  145. Blood platelets and LFT are also slightly raised. I’m due an ultrasound and transvaginal scan on Thursday. I’m just so worried but trying to be positive at the same time.

  • Hi Molly77, 

    I am sorry to hear you are worried about the fact your CA125 has risen. You've done the right thing to go and see your doctor about this.  When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers on an online forum, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better.

    It won't be long now until you get your ultrasound and some answers so best of luck for your appointment on Thursday! It won't be long now until you get some clarity on all this. 

    Best wishes,
