Take it one step at a time. My worst part of surgery was gas pain two weeks after. I had to get up and walk, and walk and walk to pass the gas. I walked every chance I got. My CA125 was 293 and 75 after surgery. After chemo it is 12. Ovarian is often referred to as a Chronic illness like diabetes. I am a year out and riding horses and back to being a full time artist. My next adventure is ziplining.

The 30th is not that far away. I am sure that everyone is looking forward to having the mass removed and moving into the next step of recovery and treatment.
The CA125 is high, anything over 35 is considered to be elevated, and there are people that have their numbers in the 10's of thousands...however the number, on the higher end or lower end above normal does not diagnosis the extent of the disease. Also, a CA125 can be off for numerous reasons, including the common cold. A CA125 does not diagnosis the disease, there is no test that can diagnosis ovarian cancer, it is best used when someont has been diagnosed as a tool to use to watch for recurrences.
Let us know how the surgery goes, what the final prognosis is. And if you have any questions, we ae hear to help.
