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.

  • Hi sorry to jump on, I had my results yesterday and my CA 125 has come back abnormal, all I’ve been doing is thinking about the C word, my symptoms that made me go to doctor is severe cramps that come in waves following diarrhoea, sometimes I’m bloated and pelvic pain.

    doctors are ringing me today to discuss my results cause I’m unsure of the number what it came back up but I’m still scared.

  • Hi Mel83,  

    How did your discussion go, if you're happy to share? I went to the gp a month ago with continuous bleeding, swelling and pain. fast tracked for an ultrasound and colposcopy. Ultrasound revealed fibroids and womb not shedding correctly. Colposcopy looks as though is cancer (even to the untrained eye)  they've fast tracked the results and send 6 samples. CA125 is 195 so very elevated and white bloods are up  12 instead of 10. red blood cell distributing , and lymphocytes slightly elevated. 

    Im absolutely pooping my pants so any advice is welcome x
