Don't worry, it is very common for your CA125 to fluctuate, or even rise, when you start chemo. Being that you have only done 3 months, I would assume that this is your first recheck of CA125. Continue your treatments, and have them checked again in another month or so. Take care, and blessings on your recovery!

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but it looks like the Chemo is working! You need to talk to your doctor about the results and see what he/she has to say about your stats. From what I can tell, 24.4 is a good number and below what its supposed to be.
