Rise c125 level

by avg99, Nov 11, 2009 11:10AM
I had a c125 level of 23 and then I got a vaginal and abdominal ultrsound and it came back normal. My doctor tested me again and now my level is 25. My doc say a normal c125 is a 20. So should i be worried its rising? My doc tested me again and waiting for the results. Could it be another form of cancer? I got a breast ultrasound and that came back normal to.

Hi,
Its good that your Doctor is watching you closely, there are a lot of conditions that can raise the ca125 level especially in menstruating women for example, Fibroids, Endometriosis , infections etc. Please try not to worry too much and just continue visiting your Doctor periodically to keep an eye on things, it looks like your Doc is on the ball anyhow so thats all good.

Best wishes

I concur.  The CA-125 is an imperfect marker, and some women's normal is  high, while others is extremely low.  A vigilant patient and a vigilant doctor are the best weapons.  Keep doing what you're doing.
