Hi I had 4 rounds of chemio then surgery then other 2 more rounds of chemio and now I m on Bevacizumbavic.
I had 4 rounds of BEV so far it and the plan is to continue every 3 weeks. However, today for the first time the CA125 result from my blood test came out 58 (the normal range is up to 35. So now I m worried. Has anyone had this cancer mark going up again and hopefully dropping later ?on their healing journey?
Hello Peonia
I am Brian one of the Community Champions here. I can't answer your question myself as I have a different cancer, however by me replying your post will be "bumped up" to the top of the page and I hope seen and answered by other members of the ovarian cancer group.
A couple of other options for you would be:
* Have you thought about asking your question to a Macmillan Cancer Nurse - here's a link for you:
Please give them a couple of days to answer your question.
* You can always call our Support Line on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week) I am sure someone on the support line will be able to help.
I hope this helps and you get your question answered. If I can do anything else for you please don't hesitate to contact me.
Best wishes- Brian.

Hello Peonia,
I’m similar to you as had 4 chemo, surgery & then 2 more chemo. Following that I’m on Niraporib in pill form which I had to reduce dose and have a pause from because of side effects. I’m having ca125 tested monthly at first then 3-monthly. But I was warned not to be concerned if it goes up at some stage as it will fluctuate.
let’s hope this happens for you and best of luck.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
