Yes, you can always ask for a CA125, but that doesn't guarantee a doctor will write the script for one.

I have mine checked at every doctor's visit. I have to call the next day to get CA125 result. I always ask for a copy of my labs and a CD of my CT scan. I keep all this organized in a folder I take with me to every appointment. I also keep a copy of meds I take, meds I'm allergic too, other doctors names and addresses, and any surgeries I've had. It makes my life and my nurses and doctor's lives much easier.

Why are you having an inhibin test? I have to have those because a CA 125 doesn't indicate for GCTs.

Not what you're looking for?
