Raised CA125

Hi I'm after some advise about my mum. 
 

shes 74 and yesterday was referred under the 2WW as her CA125 was 145. 
 

the GP has taken a boat load of bloods as she has had a dry cough for six months and both leg swelling. 
Her liver enzymes are through the roof. She has had a chest X-ray and ECHO which have been normal. 
Under the 2WW how long is it for results   Could this be ovarian cancer. I'm trying not to think of the worst but obviously I am. 
 

thank you xx

  • Hi Smurf76,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read about your worries - it's always difficult when there is this uncertainty and I hope you're getting on OK.

    In terms of waiting time for results, it will depend on what tests the specialist will decide to do. It also varies according to location and the waiting list. You can find out more about the referral process here.

    There will be an opportunity to discuss any concerns or questions at the next appointment so do make sure you talk things through.

    Wishing you all the best,
