Hi Mwee, I think when you have had such a great remission I would have made the same choice as you and expect you well do just as well. I know others have had a remission, then another surgery and chemo and another remission. sure they well be posting. Hugs ♥ Prayers Bonnie0 -
11 months
I had eleven months with no chemo and a gradual rise in the CA125. My spleen was removed at my initial surgery and it has not harmed my immune system (its a big lymph node). My three liver tumors were burned out with radio frequency ablation and they have not returned. The CT shows only one tumor on the sigmoid colon. It is shrinking to "not feelable" by gyn/onc after 4 carbo doses. and my CA125 has gone from 243 to 53 after three doses. Saundra0 -

Hi Bonnie and Saundra... (((HUGS and THANKS))) just to know you're there is a comfort and I know you know how that is. I'm tough and during the day I'm running around gathering "stuff" I'll need once I'm homebound, making plans, etc... it's the middle of the night when my mind starts running. I use audiobooks to help to get back to sleep. Has anyone else tried that? Maria0 -
HELLO, MARIA
Sorry to hear you must deal with this again, but I believe you made a wise choice. Removing whatever is there first then chemo makes sense to me.
In 2000 I was stage 1C, had surgery then chemo. I had a recurrance in 2006, another mass removed and repeat of chemo. I'm doing well today, and will head for a CT scan and doctor appointment in a couple of weeks. I hope he will confirm that all is 'clear'. I can see that you've already received great responses and I'm sure you'll get more.
Keep us posted. Sending oodles of hugs and prayers your way - will wait to hear from you again!
