recurrence
i've been in remission for a year now-is there anyone who can tell how long their first remission lasted before recurrence
Sad Day Thoughts and Prayers
Yesterday, my beautiful mother; Sandra Goodman - age 70, from Enfield, CT passed away. At the age of 57 - she was given 1 year to live - with Stage 3C Ovarian Cancer. She fought a valiant, 14 year battle. Everyone that knew her, loved her. She always had a smile, no matter what. When she couldn't sleep at night, she would…
update
Hi Everyone, just wanted you to know the Etoposide slowed the increase of my ca125 down. So I am staying on it another month. I wish it had decreased - but it only went from 68 to 80 and that is much better than 11 to 68. Hopefully it'll work another month. My Dr says he does have more on his list, including a Phase II…
Stage IV Ovarian CA & Neuprogen
My friend and I are both breast CA survivors, and she has been diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian CA. She has had her surgery, and has mets to the lung, so she is now beginning chemo thru a port and received a shot the day after her first six hour chemo of what I assume is Neupogen. She is sicker from the shot (?) than she…
keeping it positive
My ca125 keeps going up and is the highest it's ever been. Scans are negative but I feel there must be microscopic disease for the numbers to be so high. Had second dose of Doxil and hoping this will start to bring the numbers back down. It's been a long time since I've had normal numbers or a break from chemo. Just…
thanks for welcome
i reaaly enjoyed reading all of your messages i will try to answer some of your questions. my ca125 started at 14,000 but went down to 10,000 after first chemo. i have two doctors one is a gyn/onc and one is a med/onc. they were both assigned to me at the hospital but from the information that i have seen on them they are…
Chemo again
Hi guys...off to chemo in a couple hours..not looking forward to it..but am strong and feeling very good today. Isn't that sucky...by the time you start to feel good it's time for another infusion...especially when they are only 7 days apart. I did see my Onc yesterday and did ask why he changed his mind from Topotecan to…

Thank you Lord, excellent news..
Today I thank the Lord again. My Mom's ultrasound came out perfect. Liver, gallblader, spleen, pancreas and kidney are looking fine. I can`t thank God enough, he is the greatest miracle Dr. we have. Apparently the pains are post surgery problems she will have, specially the colon gives her a hard time. I will stop worring…
Update
I have to give you a praise report. I had a doctors appointment yesterday and he said we hadnt really moved forward or backward and as long as my CA-125 had not jumped,(because my last chemo was December 27) that I could have another month off. Well Praise God my numbers have gone down twenty points! That is really…

I have a Dr. appointment today after two rounds of hexalen and this is the first time I will see what my CA125 had done since starting that drug. I hope I get the results today. Just wanted…

Back from chemo
Hi everyone just wanted to say hi, and let you know I have had my 1st chemo today and it went fine. I might not feel like writing later so I did want to pop in now. I'm on 1650 mg of Gemzar 1 time per week for 3 weeks, then off on the 4th week. Then we start all over again. I have heard from a few friends currently on…
This Week
To All the Ladies On This Board. For all of you who are struggling with just the day to day things I send you all a hug this week. Sometimes it isn't the big things that wear on us, it's all the little things. Waiting to see a doctor, scheduling an appointment, waiting in the waiting room. Waiting for a call back. Juggling…
Remission over!!!
Hi guys...I am so happy for all who had good news this week,but unfortunely I won't be one more to add. My onc has called and I'm to start chemo again this Thurs...isn't it funny my ca-125 went down a bit but more disease showed up on the ct scan. I thought I would be having the paracentisis to look for ca-cells but my onc…
Update
Hi Everyone, Just wanted to let you know I had a call from my Dr with CT Scan results, and then yesterday recieved my copy in the mail. He said there is a new mass in pelvic area and that the lymphocele was a little bigger. Asked if I wanted to have it drained, I said not at this time. The good news is the CT Scan also…
Good News
My nurse called and said everthing was negative, said the spots were not from cancer, and she really didnt say anything about the pleural effusion, except that everything was ok. I go back the 12th of this month and I am going to ask some questions, but for now I am going to praise God and celebrate and thank you for all…
going for CT scan today
Hi everyone. I'll be having a Ct scan today, to see if the fluid still remains inside of me, even though my ca-125 went down a bit. I of course want these results tomorrow if possible, I know I can't get them today!!!!! Now I play the wait game again..I hate this....sending love and (((hugz))) to all my dear friends…
Good news for now!!!
Hi all, after summiting my Mom to abdominal-pelvic CT Scan, ca 125, Chest X-rays, mamogrphy and ultrasound..Dr. said everything looks o.k. and that we will meet again in 3 months. He said all her pains are most probably due to surgery and maybe a hernia she has. I due hope everything is o.k. I guess I have to be positive…
