-- Hi Claire, thanks for the message- so you never knew your ca 125? how were you diagnosed? What other symptoms did you have? did you have numbness anywhere? I have it in my groin area and in my side like its radiating... so weird! any headaches? were you as nervous as I am going in to surgery? thanks for your reply:) roxanne
