roll call: September 2013

Age : 64

Location: New Jersey, Florida in winter

Diagnosed: September, 2010    UPSC stage 4B grade three - cancer in whole pelvic area including omentum ,

                wrapped around colon, and found in 39 lymph nodes. Optimal debulking at Sloan Kettering.

Treatment: Clinical trial at Sloan - Carboplatin, Ixabepilone and Avastin for 6 treatments ending February, 2011.

                 Continued  with avastin as maintenance every three weeks  till the present 

Status: still NED as of last week's catscan. CA125 is three (was only 53 at diagnosis)

Diet: now on paleo/ketogenic type of diet. Lost 40 lbs since diagnosis, feel great but avastin is now

        causing blood pressure issues.

         I was in disbelief when onc told me results of catscan last week. I was totally expecting a recurrance -after all,

         how long can I possibly expect NED to hang around with a diagnosis like mine? Following the events on this

         forum makes it difficult to be too optimistic . My doctor says - "Turn off the internet!"

         Good luck and good health to everyone.

                

Dear Artist,

Hurray for NED.  Don't let the diagnosis rule your life.  Enjoy your NED.  

Every body is different.
