CA125 Level at 583, growth found on ovary

I had a scan, growth found, then GP said I needed a blood test to check CA125 level. It returned as 583, I asked doc, she said I have been referred. I asked if U should be worried, she simply said ' it's better to be prepared' 

What do the results mean ? Feeling scared.

  • Hi Helw92,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can imagine this must be unsettling but at this point it's difficult to assume anything. The waiting is never easy - try to take things a day at a time and to keep yourself busy while you wait, to help keep your mind off things.

    If you feel you'd like to talk things through at all, our nurses are available on 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, 9-5).

    I hope it's not too long to wait for your appointment.

    Wishing you all the best,
