Well sometimes the Ca125 can be wrong . That is why they do a scan. That same thing happened to me. I was in remission however when I went back my CA125 had gone from 5 to 35. After the scan it had started to grow back but very small. Don't worry CA125 is not a great indicator in all people. Your number is low . The doctors only go by the scan really. Try to relax worry won't make it better. Belsie

Hi carmela123 . Welcome to this group-- we are here for you! It's important to communicate your concerns to your doctor, and to remember that CA125 is not a reliable screening tool for ovarian cancer. Please let us know how the PET scan goes. Sending you lots of strength! <3
