Re: high ca 125- endo or ovarian cancer?From: kami (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri Sep 30 18:09:53 2005
Roxanne~ Hello there. I had an elevated CA-125 when I was 25 years old. It was in the lower 100s, and my gyn did send me to a gyn oncologist. Mind you, I hadn't been diagnosed with endo yet. It turned out to be just endo and not cancer. The oncologist was in on the surgery "just in case". I had the severe symptoms like you as well...all the back pain, bones aching etc. They simply found a horrid case of stage IV endo when they got in there. Hang in there, Roxanne. I have heard that endo often does elevate those CA-125 rates and indicates false positives often for cancer when in actuality, it's endo.
