I wouldn't consider your elevation a big jump either.  I agree with Chris,if it continues to rise then a ct scan is probably needed to see what is going on. Are you post chemo now? Most Dr. look for a trend of upwards numbers before they investigate further.Good luck,please keep us posted~~~Joanne

Are you still in treeatment?  A CA125 of 89 is usually not a number aat ccompletio if you aare in treatment ca25 cann fluctuate at lot in the beginning and then gradually come down under 35 when  the canncer is uunder coontrol..excuse the compuuter all the keys are sticking tonight.

Not really. A rise like that could just be caused by a normal fluctuation. How often are you having it checked? If once a month, then I would continue having it checked that often. If it would continue rising over the next few months, then you would probably want to consider a ct scan to see if there is anything visible that might be causing it. But I am sure that is what your Dr will do.
  Try not to worry yourself too much yet.
