Dear List, Deborah Setzer told Kathleen and me yesterday that she found a 43 or 48 (can't remember which) CA-125 reading in April of this year for ovarian cancer in her medical records. 1-35 is normal. I told her sometimes those CA-125's give false readings....not to offer false hope, but they won't really know unless they open her up. You can have a normal CA-125 and still have ovarian cancer (my own experience), but this is DEFINITELY BAD NEWS on top of the pending brain surgery for Chiari. We understand that the reading is 85 -90 percent accurate and that means there is a 10-15 percent chance she is OK. But the thought of yet another surgery...and then chemo is too much to bear. Just the thought it all has floored me. Needless to say Deborah and Robert need all the support they can get from all of us.
