Hi again ..

Always here if you need a chat .. it's just been so many threads lately .. and some are slipping through .. as after the nurses and moderaters do their bit .. it just leaves us to try and fill in .. and wer just like you, people with cancer or caring for someone with cancer... that stay on and try to get to those threads .. esp new ones ... but wer not medically qualified... so I don't know things like "ca125" goes over my head ..

I'm a breast cancer lass .. and there's lots of different people with different cancers and different treatments treatment ... that's why I was hoping  someone would know .. 

Any ways fingers crossed ... and lots read it, but if they don't know the answer will leave it hoping someone else will ..

Hi EadiesMummy

Congratulations (albeit belated) on the birth of your daughter! What a hectic time this must be for you and to be dealing with health problems too makes it doubly hard. 

Well done for going to the Dr's about your symptoms. It can be easy to dismiss things especially when you're so busy with the baby. It sounds as if your GP is being proactive in arranging for the ultrasound and blood test which is positive. 

Although you mention that the sonographer "didn't seem too worried" I'm presuming that you haven't actually had the results back from either your ultrasound or your blood test yet. 

CA125 is a protein produced by some ovarian cancers. It circulates in the blood, so it can be measured with a blood test.

CA125 is not a completely reliable test for ovarian cancer. This is because some other conditions of the womb and ovaries also produce CA125, such as endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease and pregnancy.

Most women have a low level of CA125 in their blood. If your level is high, it is a sign that there is some kind of problem and you will need to have further tests.

Until you have your results back it's a bit of a waiting game and I know that lots of our members here will agree that waiting can be a really hard time. 

I'm sure that baby is keeping you busy in the meantime and hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer for your results. 

Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. 

Best wishes,
