I think I can finally write off OC - update

[mochamommy0816]

Ladies, thank you for all of your insight as I have tried to figure out what is wrong with me.  I already had multiple ultrasounds, CT scans, and even exploratory surgery, and the doctor could not convince me that I was not dealing with OC because of the symptoms that I was having and the CA125 which was 46.  I was convinced that the symptoms along with the 46 meant for sure that I was in fact dealing with OC and that it just wasn't showing up yet.     I think I really put more weight on that one test when more weight should have been given to the others (and most certainly surgery with a biopsy should carry more weight than a blood test!).  Anyways - they repeated the CA125 and it is now 19, so it is has been 19, 32, and 46.   Given that I've had some other non-gyn things show up, I'm moving on past the 46 and exploring what is REALLY wrong.  Not to say that there's not a small chance somewhere that one day I could get OC, but for now I don't have it based on the extensive work up that was done.  I think irrationale thinking got the best of me :((( I want to thank you all for answering my many posts and to say that I wish all of you the best.  You've all taught me so much about OC and I admire the strength so many of you have.

Thanks, Irene - yes, I think my doctor has been trying to convince me all along, but now I have convinced myself to finally let this go and that all has been done at this point to rule it out.  I am still having great pain and physical problems, but at least I can look at other things to try and get to the bottom of it without being sidelined with the fear of another disease that I truly don't have.    Thank you for being a voice of reason and support, along with so many of the others :))

You've been through a lot but I'm glad you finally have some peace of mind. I hope some where along the line someone mentioned that the CA125 test is not that accurate as an indicator of OvCa. So many other things can cause the number to rise. Exploratory surgery and a biopsy is about as good as it gets for getting information. Now I hope you can breathe a big sigh of relief (or 3 or 4 sighs) and enjoy the good things in life. It's hard to relax when you don't know what's going on. But you can mark OvCa off your list. Congrats on all the good news.
