My CT scan was clear after having surgery and 6 rounds of chemo. I never felt or looked sick. I have low grade cancer, and my CA-125 is 6 now but was only 37 when I discovered a tennis ball sized tumor under my navel. CT scans and CA-125 are the best tools available for monitoring my disease, but they are not that great in my case. I am reading survivor stories and staying positive. I will be around a long time! Now I have to work on changing my lifestyle to avoid a recurrence (avoiding sugar, going organic, meditating,). This is the hard part!
