HI Rose, some of the ladies on here may be on tamoxofin but unfortunately I am not one of them. If I were in your shoes I would go and get a second opinion. Sometimes our ca 125 can be a false negative or a false positive. It is the scan which shows really what is going on inside. I would suggest you ask your gp for a referral to another oncologist with your records of recent scan and bloods. There are other options for treatment I agree so in that respect, I think my suggestion is worth thinking about

So sorry to read your situation ...but your oncologists will have all the information for you , I am sure . I am not on the Immunotherapy trial yet . I am supposed to be going on it , when it becomes available as suggested by my Oncologist .

He is engaged with the research . That is all I can really say xx

Hi roseanne, I am on tamoxifen tablets, I finished chemo December. Saw my oncologist January my Ca125 had gone down to seven. My next appointment to see my oncologist was end of March, he said my ca125 had slightly risen to nineteen. He wanted me to have a break from chemo so was given tamoxifen. I take two a day, he will see me again in eight weeks. Maybe your oncologist is thinking the same. We are all different, but if you are not happy get a second opinion like one of the other ladies said. Good luck. Love and hugs Julie xxx
