INHIBIN B TEST FOR GCT OF OVARIES

Hi, I just got my first inhibin B test back and the number is i20.  Is that bad?  I've been fighting this since June of 2007.  I know I have tumors and I am doing low-dose chemo & Avastin when my blood pressure is good and my urine.  So does this test tell if my tumors have started to grow again?  Ann

Hi Ann,

For my understanding the Inhibin B does mean that it is back. However, from what I have read from others the inhibin B can be elevated for several months before the doctors can actually find the tumor. I would talk with your physician and ask to clarify your inhibin numbers.

You are in my prayers..
