CA125 Increasing During Chemo

Hi all, currently going thru chemo for my first recurrence. Had surgery first again tho and surgeon said he removed all visible signs of disease. I have 1 more cycle left (out of 6 cycles) but my ca125 has been increasing since cycle 3 from 12, 14, 15, 16 and now 17. I know that's not huge but surely it shudnt b increasing during chemo? I'm fearing the worst 😔

Try not too worry thats a really normal level sounds like your doing great, mines gone up from 9 too 17 but again well within normal limits and whilst your on chemo things will go up and down that seems to be absolutely normal. Sending love & hugs SheilaFxxx

Hi Sheila, I'm only worried coz my recurrance was highlighted purely by my ca125 going from 12 to 19 to 24. Still within the normal levels and yet my cancer was all over my abdomen again with no symptoms 😔
