Brief Answer:
CT scan of whole abdomen
Detailed Answer:
Hello
After hearing your history as your CA125 is high I would advise you to do a CT Scan of whole abdomen
In general CA 125 is high in case of ovarian cancer
If CT scan detects ovarian cancer then chemotherapy can bring your CA 125 down

Good morning
Thank you for the report. I am very grateful. I discussed the results of my test with my doctor yesterday. He insists that i should have hysterectomy immediately without having a CT scan and has even discussed surgery with the anaesthetic. He insists that I am in danger of having an ovarian cancer. Please advise if it is ok to go ahead with the surgery. I am so confused. This is the first time i am seeing this doctor.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you in advance
