Diagnosed five years ago with events, Ovarian cancer. Had a reoccurrence in September 2021.

The less seven months my CA, 125, increase from 13 to 156. I did CAT scan, MRI, PET, scan endoscopy, colonoscopy, mammography, and brain scan. They all came clear I’m due for another CA, 125 blood test Friday I am an ED now and cannot understand why it’s elevated so much.

  1. Hi . It's been a few months since you posted. I wanted to check in and see how you are doing? Is all okay? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)

    1. I'm sending love, light, and positive energy . I did a little research and it seems that certain other conditions can cause an elevated CA125 level. I wanted to share this article from one of our sister sites, it talks about endometriosis with EDS and ties into the later articles that show endometriosis, and other chronic conditions, can elevate CA125 - I'm hoping this will give you some talking points to discuss with your doctor:
