CA125
OK my doctor says don't worry but I can't help it. What do you all think, my count 4 months ago was 17 it was checked Monday and it is 26.2 it is still within the 0-30 range so I guess I should'nt worry. They say unless I am having some symtoms not to worry. Well what do you all think of this, 7 months ago I went to see my…
CT scan
Just had a CT scan, it looks like scar tissue? Can a tumor look like scar tissue? Is this normal? I have a good CA125 it is 8. Has any one had CT scan and they talked about seeing scar tissue?. Because of my concern will have another in 3 months. Dx OC 3A Grade 1 Dec 2003, 6 rounds carb/taxo ended Apr 2004. Thanks Jansbear
Chemo done, waiting for new scan
This is my first in a discussion group. I just completed 6 rounds of chemo, and will get a new scan in 2 weeks. Just wanted to hear similar results.

The design is one that is bound to fail. This assay is specifically designed to identify "inactive" drugs and Oncotech reports even state that the…
Worried
Hi everyone, I'm new here and perhaps (and hopefully) don't belong here. I have been doing some research on ovarian cancer and I'm worried that the symptoms I've been ignoring for 3 years may be ovarian cancer. I wanted to compare them with you. I have not told my family my concerns because I do not want any one to get…

Hi everyone. I just discovered this site and thought I'd join in. I was dx'd with stage 3c about 5 weeks ago. Had a very extensive surgery and have completed 1 taxol/carboplatin chemo cycle.

One of our members has been taking it for a while now, and is having good results. She has had previous therapies, and entered…

But with the economy there,I'm not sure that she could afford treatment. i'm pretty sure that they have the treatment in their hospitals it's just that she might not be able to afford it. This was detected in her early so I know she can…
