High CA125 does not mean cancer!

I have had an anxious month.  My CA125 has been climbing all month.  In May it was 12.  In the beginning of August it was up to 295, then 4 days later 460.  A CT scan was done and no spots of cancer were found.  I was told to get another test in 2-3 weeks.  I did that on September 5...my number was 2645.   Needless to say I was freaking out.  They sent me for a PET scan which I finally got on September 16th.  Today I got a call saying there is no active cancer cells.!  I had myself convinced it was cancer.  

I do have some kidney stones and have been reffered to a urologist.

I am posting this because I am hoping that someone reads it and learns that high numbers are not always cancer!   

Don't do what I did....wait for the results before you freak out!
