What Does Incline In CA125 From 4 To 10.2 Indicate?
I am a 60 year old white female, 5 feet tall and weigh 135 lbs. I am a five year ovarian cancer survivor, diagnosed with stage 1C in Oct. 2005.
My most recent CAT scan(May 2011) revealed asymmetrical lymph nodes on the right side groin area. In 2005 my cancer was located in my right ovary which was removed along with everything else including my omentum, appendix and 14 lymph nodes.
Presently, my CA 125 is at 10.2. It has been a slow but steady incline during the past two years going from 4 to 10.2. I was wondering if you think something may be brewing. Should I be concerned? My Dr. said to come back in six months and we will check things out again. I am otherwise in excellent health.
