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.

    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!

    ned

    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!
