My 6 months appointment.

[Shqiperia]

My doctor just called me to tell me that ca125 is 13 Last time I had one was 11. He did schedule a scan as well in few days I'm going for it . But I don't know why I'm scared he said its fine and I just keep saying to myself wow 2 points and I know 13 it's perfect but I'm so nervous..xo xo suela

My numbers have done exactly the same in trying not to worry and putting it down to possible test anomaly ... I've had my scan get results Friday so fingers crossed for us both 😍

Shellygirl Thank you . I wish you all the best and like you said finger crossed ☺️☺️

Hello, hoping that it's nothing for you...2 points is very small. Good luck with your scan.

Thanks Yoshbosh. I know is only 2 point and I'm happy that the doctor thinks is perfect . Xoxo

It's so natural to wonder and worry however it's important to (try !) remember that a small rise can be attributed to so many other factors. Your oncologist will have noted the rise. the method post chemo/treatment is to monitor the trend over at least three tests. If you are on 3 monthly tests and your next results have gone up again with no obvious reason (cold, infection etc) then get a test 1 month later to put your mind at rest.

Take care

Hello Clare yeah I think so too. I have a cold for a few days now and that may be the cause . But I'm happy with that number and fingers crossed for the scan now .. thank you for the reply xoxo

Hi Suela. DO NOT WORRY. Mine also has just done exactly the same - and then went down to 9. We all know exactly what you're feeling. Have your scans - they'll put your mind at rest. Best wishes. Pauline

[Shqiperia in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Pauline I'm fine with that number as we all know it can be worst . Wish I could have done the scan yesterday as well so I don't have to wait for a few weeks for it but I'm holding on good . Xoxo

Had my 3-month check-up yesterday and had gone down from 14 to 13 (having gone from 13 to 14 at the previous check-up). Go figure! Still a long, long way from 35 (edge of normal). My onc thinks only an upward trend is important, so please don't worry (easy to say, I know!). Deb x

[Shqiperia in reply to Boot1947]

Thank you Deb , I think is probably the cold I been feeling sick for a few days now . But I was little worried yesterday after I spoke with the doctor he was not concerned at all . Xoxo

[Boot1947 in reply to Shqiperia]

Most of them aren't! I don't think they understand how twitched we get when check-up time comes around. Some hospitals won't even tell you your CA125 number in case you worry. I think that would worry me more. xx

[jmackmom]

Under 35 is normal. Also the CA125 test is affected by many factors and often reads higher. But yours is fine!

[Shqiperia in reply to jmackmom]

Jmackmom Thank you . Omg Its crazy what we go through and I try to tell myself not to worry and it can be worst .. xoxo

[Hidden]

I agree with the ladies any thing under 35 is deemed normal but it is also normal to be worried why we get the various tests and scans, It is not a huge jump and if your onc is not unduly worried then there is no great reason for you to do so either, I realise we never stop worrying and saying what if.

[Shqiperia in reply to Hidden]

Suzuki Thank you. I'm happy with that number Thank God . But we know every time we get to the doctor office the feeling gets back to you and you start wondering about it . Wish you all the best xo☺️

I understand, sure I am the worlds worst myself,
