My OCCC was caught early (pt1A, pN0), I had optimal staging surgery and opted for no chemotherapy. My pre-surgery CA125 was 800+, and at three month follow-up it was 4. What is a reasonable frequency of CA125 surveillance testing for me moving forward? My Onc only looks at me quarterly.
I’m 68 years old and had ovarian cancer when I was 55. I had Total Hysterectomy and declined Chemotherapy. I had normal CA125 for two years and stop checking it. But recently my CA 125 was 303 last month and my result just yesterday for CA125 is 600!. I have some bloating and lower abdominal pain once in a while. Please help.🙁
Doc. My mom have ovarian enlargement. So her doctor give for CA125 test, And my mom CA 125 result is (9.1) is that normal doc? Hope we have a good news about my mom result.
Doc I have had a full hysterectomy...womb fallopian tubes .. cervix and both ovaries as had a large cyst on right ovary...why do I have to have CA 125 test every 6 months .. my biopsy was said to be border line .. pls explain .. thank you
So over the past 10 years since I have been NED, going to get a CA125 test every 3 months is a total waste of money and time? Do I understand that correctly?
@@lisalinn4666 hi Lisa, did u undergo gene tests to check if u r brca positive or not?? Have you been taking any targetted treatment like tablets to be cancer free
Hello. Sorry for the late reply. It’s been 4 years since this post. I have had a baby since a this comment and numerous ultrasound scans on my ovaries. All come back normal. However my CA125 is now 112, 120... I am being sent for a CT scan of my abdo as I have irregular heavy bleeding and the gynecologist thinks I could be raised due to something going on wit other organs. Thankyou for everyone kinds comments

How are you? Did you check results with your doctor?
Did you get surgery?
For you that are asking, you should ask your doctor. This video is 7 years old.
Does the test CA 125 work is other cancers or only Ovarian?

Dr kindly reply my niece has 22.60 she is 15 year old what does mean by normal range ??
The normal is below 35.
What if your car 125 comes back 124.0 and ultra sound shows tumors in ovary uterus and liver hematoma all less than 2.5mm in size?
My ca125 came back at 1019, my CT showed an 11cm size. I’m going into surgery August 5th.
