Hi everyone, I did get carbo 4 and have 2 more scheduled. Today I am starting to feel the side affects and will probably be in bed until thursday. :-) My ca125 is down to 17 and some of the tumors did not light up on the petscan this time. They had been shrinking every since the Avastin last year so we are assuming they are either dead or dying.

It did say i have cancer on my abdominal wall and in my pelvic area. That is all I can remember without the printout in front of me.

I am feeling positive about the outcomes and counting on enjoying another Christmas.

Hugs N Prayers to all. Love Bonnie

    Dear BonnieR. So good to hear that the carbo is working on your ca125 too! Psalm 33:20 "We put our hope in the Lord; He is our protector and our help." I pray He will protect your blood counts and help you in the next 5 days form Carbo side effects. ((Hugs)) Saundra

    YIPPEE, YIPPEE, YIPPEE!!!!!! If I could do cartwheels, I would be doing them for you right now!!! What absolute fabulous news! A CA-125 of 17 after 4 Carbo treatments! You must have been on a high after that report. But, sure sorry you have to suffer the consequences for the next several days though. I would guess that right now you feel like it's worth it, I know I would! I just can't seem to tell you how excited I am for you. It's about time you got some great news! Luv and hugs, MM

    I already told you, but let it be said again that I'm so happy for your '17'! I pray your body will be resilient against the affects of the carbo and that you recover quickly and strongly!
    Luv and Hugs AND Prayers,
    Monika

    BonnieR, I am relieved and amazed that your are experiencing tumour regression and low CA125 numbers. I have put avastin on my short list for future use. You have proven that it can be done. Keep it up. We look to you for hope and inspiration. Irene.

    Hi Bonnie,

    What great news! A friend of mine had good results with Avastin, and it's good to hear it's helped you out, too, and now maybe the Carbo will finish it off.

    Be strong and well-we're all pulling for you!

    Echo all the above, and let me add "What a fighter you are!" Thank you for sharing your amazing news and yes, look forward to Christmas! I hope you keep responding well to the Carbo and that is doesn't make you too sick. Have you tried listening to stuff through headphones? I use meditation tapes and guided imagery, helps get me out of my body. All good thoughts coming your way, Bonnie!

    I am so happy that you are responding to the carbo. I will get my second Carbo/Taxol this coming Tuesday. I am having a rougher time this time around and I know that you are. I'm wishing you the best. Are you on Taxol also? Take care, Paula
