I just returned from the oncologists' office. My PET showed NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE! I didn't realize just how concerned I was until the relief came from the good news! We are going to continue with Avastin every 3 weeks, to keep me NED as long as possible! I was initially diagnosed with stage IIIB, had the resection, FOLFOX, which had to be stopped after 3 treatments and we continued with just 5FU and Leucovorin the remainder of the 6 months, then my cancer reoccurred in 2006, with a soccer ball sized tumor on my right ovary. We (I say we as if I did more than lay on the table looking mighty sexy while the doc did her stuff!) took out all the female stuff, along with my omentum, and various other miscellaneous items. I just completed the 6 months of FOLFIR which I tolerated fairly well, certainly better than the FOLFOX! The Oxaliplatin and I just didn't get along at all! Anyhow, I am so thankful for the NED and am looking forward to getting myself back in shape (yea, I lost a bunch of weight while the tumor was growing in my abdomen, but managed to put it all plus on during the treatments!) Now I have to get myself back to fighting weight!
