Elevated CA125

Hello, 2 days ago I was informed that my CA125 results are elevated (over 70). I'm waiting now for the ultrasound which is supposed to happen on Friday. In August I was diagnosed with ovarian cyst, but the doctor said it will more likely dissapear on its own. I never had a follow up scan. I'm now extremely worried.. Also I had some in between bleeding two cycles ago, but my last cycle was very normal. This waiting is driving me crazy:( I'm 38yo.

  • Hey anna

    I was diagnosed with a 3cm cyst on my left ovary back in Sept and was told during my scan it wasn't enuff to give me the symptoms I was experiencing..since then I've been back to gp and got a refferal to gyne in November and still waiting.. Went back to gp Monday with what I thought was back ache and pains from what I thought I with heavy lifting etc in my work to be told its not back pain because I cud bend over and touch my toes and that my gp thinks it's cyst pain because it's been on going and that it's possibly grew in size.. I had a cb125 before back in Sept which was normal range which I got done again Monday past so just waiting results again..I have had two days of abnormal separate spotting in Feb periods are usually OK.. I do bloat but I do tend to eat quite alot of crap but something just dosent quite feel right at all.. What size was your cyst in August? I totally agree the waiting drives u crazy.. Ive been telling them now for months something isn't right at all and nobody takes u seriously.. My pain is constant now.. Its bare able but constant and I'm just sick and tired of not feeling 100% hope u get ur scan soon.. I rang for my bloods today and still not back.. Just shows by being on this site how many people are sitting anxious thinking the worst because we all know or body's xx

  • Ca125 can be raised with an ovarian cyst. I had a haemorrhagic 5cm one on my ovary and my bloods were raised a little which I was told was to be expected. 
     

    they recommended surgery but I refused. 3 years later I was having a kidney scan and they had a quick look because I asked but it had resolved itself x 

  • Unfortunatley, it's not a cyst, I had the ultrasound and it was clear..

    Now waiting for gyneacologist app.
