in Ovarian Cancer #1

Hi loves, 

haven't been on the board for awhile and for those who don't know me, I'm a 9 year survivor, stage 3C, was in remission for 2 1/2 years and have been chemo in for the past 6 years. I did great with Cisplatin/Gemzar for over three years. That is a tough combo, but it kept me stable and you've got to love that! I'm now on Avastin/Topetecan and I wanted to report that I getting very good results! My Onc is thrilled and that makes me happy. I'll keep you informed.....

(((((Hugs)))))).   Maria

    Great news, Maria!

    I follow many of the women who post on either the ovarian board or the uterine board. My Uterine Papillary Serous Carcinoma is quite similar to aggressive ovarian cancer. I am very happy for you and wish you the very best!

    Hi Maria

    I'm so glad to hear that you're doing good with your new chemo cocktail!  May you continue to get good results and may NED (no evidence of disease) come back into your life!

    Hugs and love,

    Hi,
    I am new to this website.

    Hi,

    I am new to this website. but thought you might be able to help me. I am currently waiting for prior auth from my ins. co. for a cat scsn of ny pelvic region and abdomen.

    My symptoms have been, bloated stomach (went up 3-4 pant sizes) reflux, sour stomach, excessive salivation, as if I am going to throw up (doc gve me Ondansetron)

    some lower back pain, pain in my stomach, shortness of breath. I am hoping they can go up as far as my lungs also. *

    I am so scared.

    The scariest part though is not knowing.  - does the drugs you are on help keep the cancer at bay so it doesn;t spread further?

    I should mention I am a granulosoma cell-atypical- ovarian tumor survivor (2010) had surgery hysterectomy, oopherectomy, chemo
