Thank you Linda Propocio

Thank you Linda for your reply. I was feeling kind of down after today's visit, but I felt better after reading your note. I'm going to see my gyn/onc next week and see what he says. I've also been on so many chemos for the last year and I told my oncologist today that I really feel like I need a chemo break. I think I'm becoming chemo resistant and I mentioned that today and that I really need this break. He suggested 2 weeks but 2 weeks is not going to do me any good, that's what I get now, I'm on Taxotere every week for 3 weeks and then have a week off, so I go about 9 days without chemo. My counts have been been low ever since I was on Topotecan and I do feel very tired. I'm going for a CT scan the end of Sepember so I guess I'll find out then. The dr. told me today that CA 125 is not reliable. I can't understand why then they do it once a month. My gyn/onc said it should be done every 3 months. So, I guess I'll see. I guess I would have been happier if it went down instead of going up since I've be on the Taxotere. Anyway, thanks for writing and have a good weekend.

I also feel I should be getting PET/CT's as opposed to regular CT's, but the oncologist only does CT's. I know the PET/CT is a better test, so I'm going to talk to my gyn/onc.

Thanks again.
