CA125 TEST

by BRE878, May 20, 2008 11:36AM
MY CA125 TEST CAME BACK LOWER THAN SHOULD BE HOWEVER THE GYN IS STILL CONCERNED WITH THE ENLARGED OVARY.... IF THE CA125 CAME BACK LOW THEN THAT MEANS THERE IS NO WORRY FOR CANCER RIGHT???  THE NURSE JUST CALLED AND TOLD ME THE INFO AND SAID THAT THEY WILL DISCUSE FURTHER WITH ME ABOUT IT..

Hi .
the ca125 test is not a reliable test on its own to detect ovarian cancer , only a biopsy will give you a true diagnosis . The test is more reliable in some women that already have ovarian cancer to check for a reccurance. In saying that most cysts approx 95% are benign . I hope everything turns out well for you , try not to worry too much if possible .

Let us know how you get on , Best wishes Angie

Hi,
     I'm in agreement with silver and gold, but it's good that you have a Dr. that is concerned and thorough..You'd be surprised how many Drs. just "pooh, pooh" things. Be thankful for that.. And let us know how it goes..
