Dear lpotter1951:  The CA125 is a tumor marker that is used to follow a known diagnosis of ovarian cancer.  It is not useful in any other setting.  Though elevations can indicate disease, the CA125 is not a precision test and values are generally viewed in terms of trends over time.  As this is a breast cancer forum, you will likely be best served by discussing your test results with your gyn oncologist who can interpret the results in the context of your situation.
