Ovarian cancer

Hi 

I am very very scared. I have had a bloating feeliong for about 1 month now and had vague lower abdo pain for about 24hrs with indigeston periodically. No other symptoms but had a CA125 done and the result was 35. The Gp said the cut off was 30 in my area which has now made me anxious. I have put weight on during lockdown and I am just praying that the bloating is due to this. I have an ultrasound scan booked this thursday 16th july but i cant stop thinking the worst.

  • Hello Sue

    Just wanted to post to wish you all the best for your scan tomorrow.

    We know that waiting for tests and results can be a worrying time. Your CA125 results are only just outside of normal range and it's important to remember there are a number of reasons for a raised result that can include problems such as endometriosis and fibroids.

    Hopefully your appointment tomorrow will give your GP more information about what is going on for you and they will be able to arrange any necessary referral. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
