I had surgery to remove a tumor March 29, 2017. My ovaries and tubes were removed. Stage II invasive serious borderline of the left ovary . No lymph nodes or liver involvement. Abdominal wash had some cells. Underwent carbo/taxol for 6 treatments. Last treatment in September. Go for blood work every three months. The highest my CA125 before surgery was 74. Since then I’m always in the 30’s. This Thursday I go for a ctscan with contrast. Hoping everything is clear. I’ve learned a lot reading through many posts on this website.

Good luck with scan. I always feel really nervous at test time. Your CA125 sounds quite stable which is great

Let us know how you get on
