235 is ‘high’ compared to the baseline of 0 to 35, however MANY things cause an elevated CA-125 level (many have nothing to do with ovarian cancer). I find it curious (distrubing) they are scheduling you for surgery based solely on a CA-125 reading….typically ultrasound and then CT-scan are in order. Surgery is only done when tumors are seen and they need to ‘debulk’ (i.e., cut away the visible cancer).
CA-125 is only approved by the FDA for ‘monitoring’ your treatment progress, NOT for diagnosis. Sounds like malpractice to me if that’s all they based this on.
