in Ovarian Cancer #1

My mother suffered from Ovarian CA 2 Years back. Since two years we were treating it and two times she had surgery to remove the cancer on the second attempt we are able to remove the tumor and after the removal for 10 to 12 month CA 125 was normal.

But after some time it starts to increase and then Doctor prescribed Tab Xeloda 500Mg.

She is taking these medication as prescribed but now its been more than 8 to 9 months but the CA Levels keep on increasing on slow peace. So now the CA 125 Latest test result = 150.

I need your support to understand how severe this latest result is? Or is it normal for such patients.
