My mom was diagnosed with Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma last march. I am having a very difficult time finding information on this type of cancer. Her doctor tells us it behaves and is treated the same as ovarian cancer. She is getting ready to have her 6th chemotherapy treatment and I am worried because her ca-125 was originally 2938 and after she had surgery and 5 chemo treatments her ca-125 was down to 91 and all of a sudden it is now up to 111. Does anyone have any information on my mom’s cancer or what this ca-125 going up may mean? Deb H., MN

I am interested in your situation because my wife has peritoneal Carcinoma and we are tracking her CA-125. My wife was diagnosed June 1 and had surgery June 12th. On her first chemo her ca 125 was 2600,came dowm to 1960 after her second and now she has done her third chemo and we have seen the biggest drop she is at 260. We are praying that her fourth chemo on the 28th of August will bring her rate down to double digits.
We will be praying for your mother and hope to see that her rate has turned back to a declining direction. Please keep us posted on her test results. Good Luck.
