Waiting time from CA125 and scan

Hi

im pretty sure when the doctor called me saying my ca125 was slightly raised at 45 that I would get an appointment within a couple of weeks for a scan but I've heard nothing yet and it's been 2 weeks. Is this normal? I'm worried waiting but don't want to bother them either! 

  • Hi Mum2four and welcome to the community.

    The amount of time you have to wait for your scan may be affected by the pandemic but as you haven't heard anything within the time frame you were given, don't be afraid of getting in touch to get an update and find out what's going on. 

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their thoughts and advice to you soon as well but fingers crossed an appointment for your scan comes through soon.

    All the best,

    Hi. When my levels came back at 40, after having weeks of bad pain and bloating, they said i'd have urgent scan within 2 weeks.  My scan was 9 days later. That was a month ago and my follow up scan is in a few days. I'd definitely give your gp a call and they can try and find out what's happening for you x
