Hi everyone. I'm just wondering if anyone can share a similar experience to mine and let me know their outcome.
I'm 46, 2 years ago I had a raised CA125 of 45, was sent for a us scan, nothing found.
After returning to my GP a fortnight ago due an ongoing (non Covid) cough and other gyny issues like bloating, abdominal pain, I had another CA125 test which has come back at level 65. I am now waiting for a hospital appointment for another scan but am driving myself insane in the meantime. I lost my mum to breast cancer in 2018 and I know ovarian and breast cancers are linked. Also this cough is worrying me as I've read advanced oc can progress to lungs. Also my father died of cancer when I was a girl.
Any thoughts from those having had similar...as in a 2nd, higher, raised result 2 years after the 1st?
Thanks in advance
I'm sorry to hear of your distress and worry, my ca125 at diagnosis was 145 and I was told that it wasn't remarkable high. The fact that your previous scan was normal is very reassuring, ca125 can be raised in other circumstances too like endometriosis sometimes. Hopefully things will turn out ok for you and you won't have long to wait for your appointment, I wish you all the best
Thank you so much, I hope you are doing ok. I am feeling alot calmer about it today and realise now that 65 is not particularly high in comparison to others. Hopefully I will get an appointment through in the next few days gor my scan and can 🤞 have mind put completely to rest. Take care, thanks again for taking the time to reply 💜 xx
