Got my CT/PET results (not good) and started Avastin/Cytoxin today.

Arimidex did not work for me
I took Arimidex 1 mg daily for 7 weeks to see if it would slow the rise of the CA 125 for me. It did not work. My last CA 125 was 645 (9 weeks ago). My CA 125 today was 1510. The gyn/ono feels it is time to start chemo again. I did not have a CAT scan today, but he said he would order one if I wanted it. He did not think…

This chemical is also…

"Lies, damn lies and statistics"
Pardon the language but that is a quote from Mark Twain (who claimed to be quoting Benjamin Disraeli. At some point I believe that just about everyone on here with USPC was upset with the statistics and had to get past that. I just wanted to point out again the distortion. USPC was only made a separate diagnosis in…
