Hi I got my blood test results the CA125 was 50 so not in range but it was 86 4 years ago and that was due to fibroids.

The only slightly high was my gamma liver one??

The hormone one they did was inaccurate as I am northeristone until I see the consultant tomorrow.

I have an appointment at 4pm very nervous, I am going private.  Bleeding stopped 2 weeks ago but the GP said when I stop it, it will come back with avengenance.

Hi Ellie,

Good news about the CA125 test coming back lower than before. I don't know about the liver result so don't feel able to comment.

I paid to see a consultant last Tuesday. She gave me an internal and ordered a pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound scan which I had last Friday. The doctor performing the scan said it looks like adenomyosis  which is similar to endometriosis and would explain my prolonged heavy bleeding.

I'm back to see the consultant this Thursday to discuss where I go from here.

I know what you mean about feeling nervous but try not to worry. At least we are on the way to being sorted xxx

good luck with your appointment. Try not to worry- when I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and womb cancer my CA125 was in thousands. It is only a marker for inflammation and can be elevated with all sorts of things such as endometriosis, inflammatory bowel disease etc. My gynae specialist nurse also has patients with advanced cancer turning in tests at 20 so it isn't the most accurate test hence why it is not offered as routine screening test. I can't remember what other tests you have had done but I imagine the likes of a hysterscope, ultrasound and ct/MRI may be suggested just to check nothing untoward is going on.
I can't comment on the liver test though these things can be elevated for all sorts of reasons such as medication, drinking, infection , diabetes.
