Ovarian cancer with normal values of CA 125

Hello,
Can you help me if you know somebody with OC III C and normal values of CA 125?
Thank you

I do not believe that I know anyone in that position, but I can tell you that there are a few ovarian cancer types that do not secret the antigen measured by that test.

Hello Ain - I'm not sure of your question - do you mean having normal CA125 scores after treatment - surgery, chemo etc?

My understanding is that many labs save samples of the tumors in case a later retest for pathology is needed.  If that's the case, or if the slide or pictures are still available, Hopkins runs a 2nd opinion pathology clinic.  It's on their website or call them at 410-955-5000 to find out the number.  They list themselves as world reknown and getting samples sent from all over the world.  Other hospitals might have the same 2nd opinon process.  It would be great if you can hook up with a doctor who would recommend it so that you get the right type of review.

A port is a permanent entrance for IV's.  You have to keep it clean, but it avoids the need for finding a vein.  I've heard of them in the chest, but I don't know whereelse they get placed.
