Not Cancer afterall

This is more of a p.s. - I wrote back in December because I was having horrible pains in left ovary area and had slightly elevated CA125. Had a complete hysterectomy in January - turned out I had scar tissue from a 15 year old surgery that had attached to ovary, uterus, colon. Apparently it was pulling and tugging on organs causing pains. 6 Weeks later, I'm feeling great and greatly relieved.Thanks for your help.

Hi
The ca125 test can be elevated  by many things and inflammation is one of them .

Congratulations on the great news! I just have one question. Did your doctor give you a reason why your ca 125 was slightly elevated. Does scar tissue elevate a ca 125 test?
