Is There Chances Of Re-occurrence Of Appendix?

Feb. 08 I was diagnosed with epithelial low grade serous carcinoma 3c. I underwent debunking, removal of my appendix, momentum, had my bladder and intestine scraped. Lymph Nodes were fine. I underwent chemo; paclitaxel, cisplatin and avastin. I have been getting normal range CA 125 levels and normal CT scans. However the last 8 mos. my CA 125 levels are increasing. Last June levels had increased, to 10, Dec. was 14, March is 20. I am still within normal range but terrified. My treatment has been with a prominent teaching facility. My question is, is this common in reoccurance?
