CA125

Had CA125 test a few weeks ago as was in constant pain and was bloated. It came back as 40 so had urgent scan. They could only find right ovary which had a cyst on it and also small fibroid found. Just had follow up scan this afternoon and the cyst has gone but another was found on left ovary. I asked what could be causing all the pain and she said could be something like endometriosis and to have a chat with doctor when they tell me results. Just feeling a little anxious, want to know what's causing pain and also worried that I'll be told to just get on with things. Anyone had similar?

  • Hello Anna25

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with some ongoing health problems at the moment. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about things. 

    There are a number of things that can cause a raised CA125 including ovarian cysts and endometriosis. It sounds positive that the scan didn't reveal any immediate cause for concern and hopefully your GP will have some information that will help them decide the best way to move forwards with resolving things for you. 

    I do hope that you have some news soon and that things settle. 

    Best wishes,
