CA125 high and possible cyst

Hi all

Hope your all well. 6 months ago I volunteered for a routine ovarian check and showed nothing however my gp reckons there is a cyst hiding and blood test was elevated 145. So after a 6 month wait and watch I'm going for another ultrasound and blood test. 

Not sure what to expect. I have no symptoms or anything but have fibroids. Periods normal at times heavy. Had surgery 2 years ago so my gp reckons the cyst may have been caused by the surgery which was keyhole. 

Anyone been in my situation? Would love to hear from you. I'm 46 have 2 kids and think if it's ovarian cancer I will remove my womb and deal with it. 

Strange that ultrasound lady could not see anything.

I saw a gynae too and he was quite relaxed saying if my ca125 was in thousands that means cancer and I am no where near.

Thanks and hope to hear from some of you. X

  • Hi, i hope that whatever is happening with you is easily treatable or that nothing much is going on as you don't have symptoms. Smaller cysts can be hidden by gas. A few years ago i had an ultrasound and the sonographer couldn't see my right ovary at all because of gas.
