asked

I am a cancer survivor diagnosed with stage 3C Ovarian cancer in 2002. I went through six months of chemo and have been cancer-free since. My CA 125 test, which is normally in the single digits, was recently 51. I've been dealing with gastritis, acid reflux, heartburn, and various pains. I'm overweight and have been waiting to see an oncologist due to issues transferring my health records. How worried should I be about my elevated CA 125?
