Ca125 test 7 months ago, raised at 54, repeat test raised at 95, pelvic ultrasound clear. Repeat ca125 back down to 52. Hysteroscopy - benign polyp, removed. If this rise in ca125 was caused by ovarian cancer, would I have symptoms after 7 months?

Is there a alternative to confirming uterine polyps? Like a MRI? I'm scheduled for saline ultrasound and I do not want to go through with it.
