Really worried about CA 125 results

Hi. I am 43 and for the last 2 moths have been going back and forth to my doctor's thinking I had a urine infection as I have needed to go to the toilet a lot more than normal. My urine tests have always come back normal and so I was referred for blood tests. My CA 125 level has come back as 39. I am not sure if that is really high or not but have now googled and read it can be an indicator of ovarian cancer. I  am booked in for a ultrasound and a transvaginal scan this Sunday and am terrified of what they might find. Has anyone else had a an above normal ca 125 and was it something simple.

Many thanks for reading.

    Mine was a few hundred, it turned out to be due to some undiagnosed  cysts/endometriosis in my case, nothing malignant.You can't help but have a bit of a worry once the idea is put into your head can you, but it sounds like your doctor is just being thorough xxx

    Hi Daisy. 

    Thanks for your reply. I am so glad yours turned out not to be malignant. It really is hard to stop worrying once the idea has been put in your head. I just want Sunday to come now so I can get the scan out of the way and see what's going on. I think the waiting is the worst. Xx
