I am a breast cancer survivor diagnosed in 2015 with grade 3 DCIS and Paget's. Did mastectomies and moved on. I am negative for genetic mutations of significance.
Ended up in the emergency room from extraordinary pelvic pain and cramping on Jan5th. They did a CT and saw evidence of what they thought was a ruptured ovarian cyst...but the CT did not get good view of the ovary. I am age 49 and have regular periods ranging from 24-42 days...but had not bled in about 3 months. I figured it was perimenopause. I have been in a lot of pain...and went to followup with my gynocologist.
Her ultrasound showed a 5cm cyst with some solid components. It is also stuck to my rectum. She ran CA125 came in at 65 and I was gushing blood at the time. I have been refered to a Gyn/Onc. That doctor did another CA125 which is now 115. (taken 2 days after the end of my period) For some background....I do indeed have endometriosis. Gyn/Onc also did a eterine biopsy which kept pulling out blood clots...she had to repeat the test 3 times. (ouch). I am assuming that my utuerine biopsy was not normal. I would get from the clots it is adenomyosis or Fibroids. I really haven't had any recent issues with bleeding. I did have some post-coital bleeding for awhile...maybe a year ago. My pap was normal...but they are making me wait to talk to doctor about the other tests. I am beside myself with worry. I have an MRI scheduled on Friday. Another appt with Gyn/Onc on Monday. Surgery on Wednesday. ugh.
I know that endometriosis can raise CA125. How suspicious is a 115 CA125?
