uterine cancer

[celia999]

differences between lab analysis of the ca 125 - some use 21ul as the base and some use 35ul as the base - i find this very frustrating - it seems to me to be very important to make sure tests are done consistently by the same lab - also how can you tell if you test is a ca 125 or ca 125 ii?

I did not mean to exclude the wonderful husbands, sons, brothers, boyfriends and friends of women with OVCA who may read this post.  There have been wonderful posts/comments by these men and I have learned things from them as well.  I commend these men for standing by their loved ones.  Angie

Hi Celia,

This is a very interesting question.  I always assumed that the lab test is done in the same lab...at least, I think it's done in the same lab at the hospital I go to.  You've made me want to set some time aside to check all the written results I've collected and see if there are inconsistencies.

If you've found these inconsistencies with your written results, I highly suggest you speak with your gyn-onc about it and see what can be done to make it consistent.

Although you were dx with uterine cancer, I think you made a good choice by joining our community.  There are probably many similarities with dx, tx and such.  You'll find that we are pretty much a great bunch of women; I just wish we didn't have to meet this way.

My best, Angie
