loralai, a question for you

[rmarie]

loralai, was your CA 125 elevated prior to diagnosis?  If it was, there should be no reason to not expect it to rise again.  Did you do chemo?  Tough to give you an answer without more information

Not really. In 8/06 I was diagnosed after surgery Stage1C (clear cell). Prior to surgery was 27 after jumped up a bit 56 and then after 6 rounds chemo came down. Last test was 11 three months ago. Started having these bizarre pains/discomforts about a month ago. Mostly around my left buttock and some times shoots down leg a bit. Hurts to lay on my left side at night too much. Can't get comfortable. Have been doing some searching but of course internet is full of info and most of it way over my head. Found that Femoral Nerve damage is common after hysterectomy?? It mostly talks about leg though where mine is more "inside" hip/butt area. Freaking out in my mind it's recurrance. Any thoughts?? Thanks for responding...very kind of you :)

what you are describing is in the area of the sciatic nerve, and the pain may travel down the leg, check with your family physician to be sure.  With this disease we do not have the joy of ignoring many symptoms, anything can make us very nervous.  Good luck, get it checked, it might not be as bad as you think.  Keep me posted
