I am presently on Avastin post chemotherapy which I completed in September
I was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer I had chemotherapy and a total hysterectomy there was no lymph node involvement and no other disease visible to the surgeon
Ii responded very well to the treatment and was doing well on Avastin with a clear scan in March
Unfortunately my ca125 is elevated since and I fear the worst in my next scan which is early June
Wondering if anyone have had similar experiences
Peggy
Hi Peggy, pre scan anxiety is just the worst thing, my situation is different to yours in that my ca125 has remained normal since after my first chemo but I can completely relate to your pre scan worry , its even been given a name now 'scaniexty'. I have scans every six months and the only way I can reassure myself is to say that if anything shows up it has to be fairly new so it'll be treatable. I was originally diagnosed in 2015 with a recurrence in 2017 but my last scan in February was good and I'm well thank God. I hope June goes well for you 🙏
Thankyou for reply and reassurance appreciate it will let you know results
I truly wish you all the very best xx
Thankyou
