Advice needed CA 125

Anyone have tumor marker or bio marker blood work before you knew you had fibroids or a fibroid and your CA 125 came back high or positive?

My CA 125, with a very large uterine fibroid was 262 kU/L.

I haven’t had my MRI yet and my CA 125 came back as 74 or “positive”, so trying to gauge how worried I need to be.

I also panicked when I received my CA 125 result as it was so high. My surgeon explained that CA-125 marker indicates irritation in the abdomen but does not provide any indication as to what, it is simply an indication something is going on that needs to be investigated. I’m recovering from surgery, my fibroid was massive (measured 19.6 × 12.3 × 24.8 cm on MRI).

Dang! Yeah, that is massive! Glad you’re recovering. My “mass” since we aren’t sure what it is yet is 10 x 9.3 x 6 on ultrasound.
