Hello, I had been diagnosed with stage 3-C ovarian cancer July '02. After a hysterectomy & 6 rounds of chemo, my cancer marker (CA-125) decreased from 285 to 39, then by increments to a low of 10 6 months ago. However, the last two tests taken in April and on 6/2/03 had it rising to 13, then 17. Is this a sign that the cancer is trying to come back? The nurse called & they want to do another test in one month. She did not elaborate on the possible reasons for the fluctuation. Anyone else out there with a similar situation, but the rise was not due to recurrence of cancer? Thanks, Andrea
