G'Day http://csn.cancer.org/node/add/forum/0#everyone, my name's April this time last year I was told I had ovarian cancer, in one month my tummy grow so much it looked like that I was having twins.
So scary at the time, i had cancer on one of my ovaries and a tumor which weighed 13kgs.
They took both my ovaries, a month later I had 4 cycles of chemo which wasn't nice but you do anything when you want to be well.
In a few days I will be celebrating my 66 birthday, I am now cancer free but still have my 3 monthly blood test, when I had the tumor my blood marker was 3465, it is now 9, they tell me anything under 35 is normal.
Only joined today.
Cheers all.

CONGRATULATIONS, APRIL!
That's a great number, AND a wonderful milestone!
Just curious why they didn't do a complete hysterectomy. Did you have a gynecologic/oncologist? And the 4 cycles - carbo and taxol?
By the way, my daughter's name is April. We love that name! Means NEW LIFE and BREATH OF SPRING! Have a wonderful NED day
Hugs & Prayers,

Happy 1st anniversary after diagnosis and Happy B-day as well. We often say around here that birthdays take on a new meaning after such life altering events like cancer. I'm glad you found your way to our "group".
