CA 125
Has anyone on here had a elevated CA125? I am really concerned?
Thanks Hopeshell I really appreciate your info. Glad to hear you are doing great since your scare.
I answered your other post..but yes...a CA-125 can be elevated with benign cysts, endometriosis, pelvic infections and even for no known reason in women who are premenopausal. I have run across many, many women who had elevated CA-125 and didn't have cancer.
However, it is not something that should be ignored and dismissed. Mine was only 61 and I did have Stage 1 ovca. Women with even lower numbers or a normal CA-125 have also been diagnosed. It is really important you get to a gyn/onc to get your cyst removed. Best wishes!
