CA125 doesn't work for me

Hi, my oncologists ignore my CA125 results (to a point) as I've has a level of 65 and been clean on a PET. They have explained that this is why a diffinitve test is so desperately needed. The CA125 protien test is an indicator only. I have a rare subtype of ovarian cancer. I no longer stress over a raise in CA. There's no point, I've found.
