If the CA125 is elevated then the suspicion of cancer is certainly
elevated. Statistically, it is still more likely that this is benign.
Given that scenario. I would suggest that she find someone who can do
this sooner. A laproscopic exam with either removal of an ovary or a
biopsy should be done in the next couple of weeks.
