I just went through all this. My ca125 came back at 15. He said it's right in the middle, so good. However, the ultra sound showed a small cyst on my right o and my uteran lining was way up, in some places close to 25cm. I am having everything removed on the 24th. It is just what is best for me. Glad to hear your US showed nothing and will pray for good numbers.

Hi Mary Jo,

I didn't see anything in your message saying whether or not there is ovarian cancer in any of your family history so I would guess not?

My aunt died of ovarian cancer so I found a clinical trial for those with bc who have a family history for ovarian cancer and who are monitored for ovarian cancer. Part of the purpose of the trial is to collect data to see if yearly transvaginal ultrasounds plus periodic CA-125's are helpful, and part of the purpose is to use the blood collected to also look for better markers for ovarian cancer.

My CA-125 has varied from the 6-12 in the 4 years I have been in the trial and all TVUS's have been clear.
