My daughter went to the oncologist last week and he did checked her CA125 and did another pap... her last CA was 290 and the ultrasound came back abnormal but these results were good... CA125 was 60ish and the pap was normal. He told her to come back on the 15th of June and they would rerun them and do an ultrasound... BUT yesterday she started having pain again and today she is bleeding. He is seeing her today and 4:30pm... any ideas??? Is this normal or what?

    CA125's can be false positive. In other words an ovulating cyst or other types of benign tumors can give you an elevated number. Endometriosis can also give you a high number. Did he say what he saw on her ultrasound? Will they run the CA125 again on the 15th? Please let us know how her appointment goes today.
    Prayers and Hugs.

    I agree with Jami - lots of reasons for CA125 fluctuations. I had endometriosis, and it can cause lots of problems. One word of caution - if it is endo, don't let anyone force your daughter into hormone treatments for the disease. It's really not a good idea. In the meantime, let us know how she's doing and what they find out.

    Hugs and prayers from me too!

    I am so glad they are seeing her again and hopefully everything checks out okay. My sister has endro and her ca125 spikes because of it.

    Prayers N Hugs Bonnie
