I had been undergoing chemo treatment since July of last year and stopped when I got the all clear on January 7th of this year. I had a ca 125 count at less then 5 as of march but went to my onc for my checkup and found out this morning that its now up to 58. Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else and what was the outcome?

    hard to say
    Meganryan,

    Its so hard to say, Megan. Your ca125 could jump for various reasons...including the one you dread the most. I am currently battling my first recurrence and have not had a major jump. My ca125 was a 10 when I had a confirmed recurrence. What does your doctor say? Is a scan ordered? BEST OF LUCK!!! Let us know what happens!!

    What does your doctor
    What does your doctor recommend? Are you seeing a Gyn/Oncologist? I would make an appointment ASAP and push for a scan.

    Wishing you the best possible outcome....

    thank you
    I am seeing an onc/gyn and a ct scan is happining on tuesday. My doc said that he thought it was scar tissue due to the hard mass in my abdomen. But that was before we found out that the ca125 level was elevated.

    Hugs ♥ Prayers
    Hi Megan, just wanted to send a hug and a prayer your way. A rising ca125 could mean a couple different things .. so for now a prayer for patience as you await your doctor visit to go over this together. Hugs bonnier
