Ct scan results

Hi Ladies,
My oncologist just called with good news, my CT scan didn't show any sign of my cancer, so I won't have to restart chemo this month.

He said with my CA rising steadily, there is definitely something going on, but we'll keep checking it monthly, and we'll need to restart treatments at some point.

He said that at Fox Chase where he trained, the feeling is to wait until there's evidence of disease on the scan to restart chemo, regardless of the CA increasing.

So, for the month of August I'm free of chemo appointments and side affects, and I'm so thrilled.

I hope you all are feeling well today, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Jane

    Thank the Lord
    You just enjoy this month to the max!!! What a good CT report and my doctors don't panic at a rise in CA125 alone either. They trained at MD Anderson in Houston. (((Hugs))) Saundra
