Ca125 result still high after surgery for ovarian cancer

I've recently had radical cancer surgery for ovarian cancer and 1 month on my ca125 level is 111

i thought it would have gone back to near normal by now

i am really worried 

  • As I noticed this is your first post with us I wanted to stop by and welcome you to our forum.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're diagnosed with ovarian cancer and that the CA125 results are still high after surgery.

    As we're not doctors here I'm afraid I can't answer your question so it would be best to speak with your specialist next time you have a chance. Until you do, if you feel like speaking with someone medically trained might help, our team of nurses will be happy to take your call. They're available on this phone number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

    Best wishes,
