My holiday break from chemo ends this week and it's back to reality I go. I've been chemoing since last Jan. and am in (my 1st) recurrance since being diagnosed 3c in 2006. This brief parole has does me a world of good. I also got great news today that my CA-125s dropped to 60, which is my lowest count in the past year... yeah. I had a major allergic reaction to the carbo part of my carbo/gemzar infusion the last time and they've got me on mega steroids, etc. to see if I can tolerate the carbo tomorrow. I'll be flying high, but it'll be worth it to keep the carbo portion as long as it seems to be working.
I saw a poster in my ONC's office today that a least 1700 women are diagnosed with OVCA each year in New York State alone. If I had a magic wand I'd wave it and have better early detection for women everywhere.

good luck this week with your chemo I am sure you will be fine this time . My next one is next week seems like three weeks goes by so fast. Keep us posted on your progress0 -
Hi Maria,
good news that your CA is down! Wishing you smooth sailing as you go back on the chemo!! I hope you have a lot of DVD's and books around as you fly high on those steroids. Even 3 mg really affects me.
I start back on the 14th, after getting a new port on the 13th. I feel so great, I wish I could go another 6 weeks.
Hugs,
