CT Results
Got the results of my last CA125 and my CT scan. I was not sure if I wanted to know before Christmas or not but was glad the dr. called. My CA125 went from 410 to 371. She still thinks it is not accurate due to my last bowel obstruction but the fact that it went down is good news. The scan showed the disease to be stable…
platlets are down
to 74,000 DR is not all that concerned right now. All other blood work is good. Question-is there anything I can do to increase it? I'm on topo and will be having another treatment the first of Jan. Should I be worried? seems like there is always something new to worry about. Thanks Kathy
topo not working......christ I am in pieces

I then received a phone call from my sister saying that basically we are at the end of the road with mum , and that they would now only offer palliative care. My god , I new this was in the post but , but hearing it for real is sick. I cannot believe…
Do CA125 numbers bounce around?
Was diagnosed a level IIIc in mid-June of this year. After making it through 6 rounds of taxol and cisplatin ip and iv the end of October, I'm just beginning to reach out and ask questions.

GREAT NEWS TO SHARE!

Last CA-125 (early November was at 9) Great Christmas…
Nuerontin
I am still having a heck of a time with nuropathy in my toes and feet. My MD said I could take nuerontin but I refused as I thought I could handle it but I am not so sure now.
