Avistan
My mom was diagnosed with Primary Peritoneal Cancer in May 2014. She had debulking surgery and chemo and her CA 125 was down to 5 by March 2015. At her last check up (May 2015) we learned that her CA 125 is up to 70. She starts Avistan today. Does anyone else have any experience with this new drug? Would love to hear all success stories of people living with PPC.

Hi, after much internet searching I found this post and felt I must get in touch. My mum (57) has recently had a diagnosis of primary peritoneal following CT scan (biopsy not till next week) but doc says 90% sure that is what it is. No specific symptoms, otherwise fit and healthy so saying it is a shock is an understatement. Can I please ask what your experience has been; what treatment you have had etc. Have they said yours has been successfully treated? Thanks
