Normal for what?  Do you have ovarian cancer?  why are they repeating the test?  There are numerous reasons why a CA125 would jump that are not cancer related.

Thank you for answering;  I was orginally diagnosed with malignant pleural effusion IIIb (a form of lung cancer) 4 years ago ,  I had numerous CAT scans.  Even one of March of last year showed no tumor activity.  In June, my abdomin began to swell;  a new CAT revealed a tumors on the ovary - Ovarian Cancer IV.  I was operated on in July and evrything was removed and I spent 5 weeks in the hospital.  No one thought I wouls make it to Christmas I was so weak.  All of a sudden, I did a complete turn around on a new chemo (Avastin and Topecan(sp).  I was told my C125 had been in the 700s before the operation and now it was down to the 30s.  
Now it is back up in the 600s which since I wrote,I learned means more tumor actiity,  so another change in chemo - taxol and avastin.  I have had approximately 115 chemos
I hope this new cocktail works.
