CT Report

I have finally had the report from the conference between all my doctors and they have concurred that the CT was in error and that I am tumor free as far as they can see now. I am going back on Taxol, lower dose every 4 weeks, dropping the carboplatin. We'll save the doxil for later, if needed. This has been a roller coaster ride, but at the same time a lesson on the wasted energy of worry. How quickly we fall into that pit of dispair. I am going to try not to do that in the future with snippets of bad reports until all the information reaches me. I am grateful for the hugs and prayers and words of encouragement from all of you.

    Originally, they proposed a 12 month maintenance program. At stage IV, I will be happy with that as long as I can tolerate it. The dose I will be getting is 135 (of whatever the measurement is) down from 175. My CA-125 is 6 and will be tested monthly.

    Saundra, I'm sure we've all done our share of over-worrying about one thing or another concerning our treatments and health. I'm glad to hear your situation is going as well as it is, and hope it will continue for a long, long, time!
