CA-125 results?

[hopeful cindy]

My mom has all the signs of OC with tumors and is going through all the test that come along with that; CT, x-rays, ultra sounds, and blood work. She got her CA-125 results back today and it was a 1. So my question is: is she for sure cancer free? Can you a have a CA-125 result of one but still have OC? Also is the ca-125 test just for OC? Cause they are also looking at her bladder for cancer.
thanks

Any ovarian disturbance such as cysts or masses or tumors can mimic ovca.  99% of these cysts, masses or tumors are BENIGN!!!!!   Is your mom seeing a gyn/onc?  They are specialists in the female reproductive area and have seen everything!  You and your mom are in my thoughts and prayers.  Godspeed

I would say a CA125 of 1 is definitely a good thing!  Unfortunately it isn't a for-sure thing.  About half of early stage OvCa and even a small percentage of late stage Ovarian Cancers don't raise CA125. I know nothing about bladder cancer.

Remember that benign cysts and ovarian cancer have the same symptoms, and most cysts are benign.  I will be thinking of you and your mom.

I have a cyst with a CA125 of 4, and my gyn told me today she wants to do a laparascopy and remove it.  She thinks it's benign, but I am going to have a gyn/oncologist present in case it's not.  They are the experts in this surgery.
