You can contact MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. They are world renowned for curing cancer.  You can do a self referral by going to their website, mdanderson.org.  They often pay for travel and living arrangements while you are being treated. Good luck!!

Bless your heart, sending prayers.

Firstly, you should get a second opinion.  If YOU are not happy, and have concerns, YOU have a right to ask questions and demand answers.  There are many reasons for an elevated CA125, but to get definitive answers, even consider contacting either the Mayo Clinic, or Cancer Centers of America.
