Rising CA-125 after first cycle

Hi everyone, my mom is being treated for her second reoccurrence of advanced ovarian cancer stage 3c. She has only had her first cycle of taxol + biweekly avastin and her CA-125 has risen from 25 to 31.5.

She had her port fitted 2 days back. Could that be causing the CA-125 to rise?

It’s quite likely the insertion of the port’s causing the rise, inflammation (post op, albeit a minor one) and infections can cause the CA125 to rise. It’s not gone up much at all and, I’m sure, if there was anything to worry about that her oncology team would have said something. They’ll monitor her as she goes along. Try not to read too much into this change. I hope this round of treatments does the job for her. Love and hugs to you all ❤️Xx Jane
