Any suggestions ?

Hitory
CA - 125 started from 7000 to 19000 and as high as 23000.

OV, FT, UTs all removed.

CA-125 was 17 last March/April 2010.

Now, it is over 600 - the reason below

Please Advise
Any good food for Lever ?



Indication: Ovarian cancer.

Technique: Images were obtained from the lung apices to the pubic
symphysis after the uneventful administration of 150 mL of Isovue-300 IV
contrast at 3 mL/sec. Creatinine 0.8 on 6/25/2010. This study was
acquired following the IV administration of iodinated contrast material,
given the patient's indications for the examination. If IV contrast
material had not been administered, the likelihood of detecting
abnormalities relevant to the patient's condition would have been
substantially decreased.

Findings: Limited images of the lung bases negative for pulmonary nodules
or opacities. The heart is normal in size. No pleural or pericardial
effusions. Hiatal hernia noted.

New ill-defined hypoenhancing hepatic lesions are seen. Representative
contiguous lesions in the inferior right hepatic lobe measure 2.2 x 1.7
cm and 1.7 x 1.3 cm (image 29 and 30). Representative 1.9 x 1.3 cm lesion
in the right hepatic lobe (image 25). No intra or extrahepatic biliary
ductal dilation. The portal vein is patent. The gallbladder, spleen,
bilateral adrenal glands and pancreas are normal in appearance. No
pathologically enlarged lymph nodes are seen in the abdomen or pelvis.
The bowel is normal in caliber without evidence of obstruction or focal
bowel wall thickening. The kidneys enhance symmetrically with no
pelvicaliectasis. The bladder is distended but otherwise unremarkable.
Patient status post hysterectomy.

Review of bone windows negative for aggressive lytic or sclerotic
lesions.

Impression:
1. Interval progression of disease with new hepatic metastases.

    It appears that your OVCA
    It appears that your OVCA has recurred. You have 3 small tumors in your liver. Your doctor will most likely recommend a new course of chemo. Don't give up hope. This does not mean that the cancer is untreatable. You obviously had a good response to past treatment, and will probably respond well again. Is this your first recurrence?

    Hi
    Hi Uju. I am sorry to read this report. Is it your wife that has ovarian cancer? Yes sadly, like Carlene stated this report means her cancer has spread to her liver. This complicates things but there is always hope, and a lot of other treatments. As far as foods go, she should avoid anything that would make the liver work harder like alcohol . Eat alot of veggies and fruits (organic if possible, or at least very well washed) Garlic, onion, cabbage, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, nuts and olive oil. Beets are very good for building Red blood count. Lemon is supposed to be very good for the liver. There was a post not too long ago for a lemon/ginger tonic. I thought it was on the uterine cancer board but maybe it was on this board I'm going to try to find it and repost for you.
    Good luck and keep us posted.
    Hugs,
    Cindy L.

    whole lemon drink
    Hi. I am copying and pasting this from the uterine board. It was posted by Shortmarge. I hope she'll forgive me. I thought it might be useful to Uju and others.
    Here it is:

    The Whole Lemon Drink is ideal for:
    • Detoxification
    • Enhanced immune function
    • Liver health
    • Assisting with hormonal balance
    • Nourishing and strengthening cells and cell membranes
    • Improving and normalising digestive health
    Some of the benefits of the Whole Lemon Drink (observed in over 20 years of clinical practice):
    • It decreases blood acidity and alkalises the system – despite lemon juice being acidic;
    • The oils provide essential fatty acids that boost immune function, benefit cell integrity, and improve skin health (resolving dryness), etc;
    • The D-limonene in the lemon peel has anti-cancer properties;
    • The pectin in the lemon helps to emulsify oils and chelate toxins from the bowel
    • Lemon peel contains oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) – powerful antioxidants with antihistamine effects;
    • Lecithin acts on healing and detoxifying the liver (it’s wonderful to address fatty liver) and nervous system (peripheral neuropathy) as well as the kidneys and brain, and enhances fat absorption;
    • Lecithin helps normalise cholesterol and triglycerides;
    • The choline in the lecithin and the oils in the citrus skin glands help liver detoxification pathways to work more effectively;
    • The drink helps decrease swollen glands, increases energy, as well as lift depression and anxiety;
    • It helps with insomnia and increases the appetite (only when it is poor);
    • It assists in weight normalisation;
    • It frequently raises CD4 cell counts (fighting cells of the immune system);
    • It helps to decrease tumour necrosis factor (TNF), inflammation and wasting;

    One amazing brew - cheap, simple, safe, and effective!

    Whole Lemon Drink Recipe
    1 whole organic lemon, well scrubbed to remove any wax or residues
    • ½ cup filtered water
    • 1-3 dessertspoons cold-pressed organic flaxseed oil or extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 heaped dessertspoon lecithin (egg based—not soy, but only if you are not allergic, otherwise exclude)
    • 1 capsule of vitamin E (whole into the blender)
    • 1 knob of fresh ginger (approximately golf ball size)

    Cut lemon into small pieces, combine all ingredients and blend for 30-45 seconds. Strain and discard the pulp. Consume ½ of the liquid before or with breakfast and the rest for dinner. Store the remainder in a clean glass container* in the fridge. Always consume the total amount within 24 hours to prevent rancidity and too much oxidation.

    *Ideally the glass container should be as full of the drink as possible to decrease the amount of air, which speeds up oxidation.

    Liver tumors
    I had three 2.5 cm tumors mets to my liver when I started. They were not operatable but shrunk with 4 treatments of carbo/taxol. Then during my big surgery, they burned them out with radio frequency ablation and they have not returned in 2.5 years. My gyn/onc had to hunt for a surgeon that would do this and I am so glad that he found one. Saundra
