Just Curious - First Remissions
 |
Feb 13, 2013 - 1:34 pm
I'm just curious and am wondering how long everyone's first remissions lasted, and if anyone is still NED after first line treatment, how long have you been NED? Thanks! |

after 18 months. I have been on medication since June 2012. Tamoxifen lowered my numbers for the first three months and then they rose for the next three. I was put on Femara in January and had my first blood draw today since starting. Here's hoping for good news.

I am still NED (no evidence of disease) after my first treatment (actually surgery) - two years and four months.

I was dx in Feb 2012 with OCCC 1C, finished chemo in July 2012 and am having my first recurrence in Feb 2013. I was hoping for a longer dance but am ready for the fight.

I was diagnosed stage 3C in July of 2007. Surgery followed by 11 months of carbo and taxol/taxotere. I enjoyed nearly 5 years before my first reoccurance!
I had 6 more months of carbo/taxol last year and strated on Doxil this January.
Even though I am back on treatment I feel very lucky and blessed that I had that long of a time and that I have and continue to do so well. I always try to remimd myself that there is the other side of those otherwise pretty scary statistics!

I finished my front line chemo in Dec. of 2010 then had a pet/ct scan which found kidney cancer. I had my right kidney removed inJan,2011
After 30days I began six rounds of Avastin during which my ca125 slowly kept rising til it doubled after the last round
So I guess I had two months of remission just enough time to remove my kidney and have a short recovery
But I am still here and I am feeling well!

So, it has almost been a full year. I was DX in March of 2011, didn't have surgery until July 2011 followed by 6 rounds of carbo/platin which ended in March of 2012. Keeping my fingers crossed for longer.
