@1morgan, I know this can be very unnerving. It sounds like your doctors are monitoring you closely and have done further investigations with the PET scan and CT scan. It's encouraging that they show nothing. However, your team wants to keep a close eye on the CA-125. I know the changing numbers are increasing your worry. I hope the close monitoring you are getting is helping to give your assurance that they are keeping a careful eye on everything.

A number of conditions that aren't cancerous can cause an elevated CA 125 level, including:
- Endometriosis
- Liver disease
- Menstruation
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
- Pregnancy
- Uterine fibroids

Has your team also monitored your liver function and for pelvic inflammation?
