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 womenWomen's way for example, FibroidsFibroid tumors Uterine 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.
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.
