of chemo on Tuesday the 29th. Even though I don't post very much I try to stay in touch by reading everyones post. I finished carbo/taxol at the end of May. I had a hernia surgery in Aug. My ca-125 was at 45 from 15,they thought it went up because of surgery. On my next ca-125 test it was 146, I had a ct-scan and blood drawn on the 11th of Nov. I saw my Dr. and my ca-125 was at 2,003. The ca scan showed lesions in and on my liver about the size of a gumball, I'll start Avastin and a pill called cytoxin on Tuesday the 29th. Monday the 28th I'll have a biopsy to make sure it is ovarian and not breast cancer related as I had breast cancer in 2008. So I'm rolling up my sleeves and putting on my boxing gloves to fight back again and my personal nurse is back on duty (my husband or as he calls himself Nurse Betty) which I hope everyone has
Joan.
