CA-125 Results Went Up: Should I be concerned?

Hi,
My daughter's cancer had already metastasized so no surgery was performed and she started right in on chemo. Since writing this, she went off chemo and started ketruda which also seems to not have helped. In fact one tumor had significantly enlarged. I appreciate your offer to communicate, but there may not be much more to do, except try another chemo drug to delay the inevitable. Her surgeon took a genetic sample when she took out her right ovary due to its dying and causing her pain. I guess that could lead her to a clinical study. But, I don't have a lot of hope in that.
Were you diagnosed at an early stage? 5 years sounds wonderful and I am happy for you.

Dear @carole2022, this must be heart-wrenching for you and your family to face and accept. Has your daughter been offered or told about palliative care?
