The main character is in the "wait and see" stage after 10 rounds of chemo for Stage III Hodgkin's lymphoma. I am writing for two reasons. First, I would…
CA-125 Levels-Good/Bad?
In Aug. 2002 I was admitted to the hospital with a pumonary embolism caused by deep vein thrombosis, which I now understand was most likely symptomatic of the cancers that were discovered when I had a biopsy at the hospital (uterine Stage 1B) and the ovarian (Stage 1C) that was uncovered in the subsequent hysterectomy.…
