Just Curious - First Remissions

Tethys41

I'm just curious and am wondering how long everyone's first remissions lasted, and if anyone is still NED after first line treatment, how long have you been NED?

Thanks!

I recurred

after 18 months.  I have been on medication since June 2012.  Tamoxifen lowered my numbers for the first three months and then they rose for the next three.  I was put on Femara in January and had my first blood draw today since starting.  Here's hoping for good news.

Great questions

I am still NED (no evidence of disease) after my first treatment (actually surgery) - two years and four months.

Thanks Ladies

This is interesting.  There are some nice, long remissions in this group.

6 Months of NED

I was dx in Feb 2012 with OCCC 1C, finished chemo in July 2012 and am having my first recurrence in Feb 2013.  I was hoping for a longer dance but am ready for the fight.

NED Almost 5 Years!

I was diagnosed stage 3C in July of 2007.  Surgery followed by 11 months of carbo and taxol/taxotere.  I enjoyed nearly 5 years before my first reoccurance!  

I had 6 more months of carbo/taxol last year and strated on Doxil this January. 

Even though I am back on treatment I feel very lucky and blessed that I had that long of a time and that I have and continue to do so well.  I always try to remimd myself that there is the other side of those otherwise pretty scary statistics!

I finished my front line chemo in Dec. of 2010 then had a pet/ct scan which found kidney cancer. I had my right kidney removed inJan,2011

After 30days I began six rounds of Avastin during which my ca125 slowly kept rising til it doubled after the last round

 

So I guess I had two months of remission just enough time to remove my kidney and have a short recovery

But I am still here and I am feeling well!
