Ive got my first post chemo CT scan tomorrow followed by an appt with the oncologist next week.I am feeling very positive and very well ( if a bit nervous) as my Ca125 was in the 30s after chemo round 5 so hoping its gone diwn even more after round 6. As my OC is clear cell is there anything specific that i should be asking the onc next week ? I did hear that clear cell does not show up very well on scans ........but that may be hearsay? If anyone has experience to share i would be greatful, thank you

I cant help either, but I am sure someone will be able to. If you're not sure about anything, you can always ring Ruth on the Ovacome helpline. All the details are on ovacome.org.uk . All the best with your scan

I'm clear cell too. I haven't heard that about scans but it may be true. I seem to recall yours was caught at stage 1 so I'm assuming they're fairly confident that all the cancer was removed at surgery. That being the case the purpose of this CT scan is really to get a baseline. Should you have any further scans in the future they will be compared with this one to look for any changes.
It will be 2 years come September since I had my surgery and I'm healthy and hope to remain so. Hopefully your story will be similar. All the best for your appointment.
Thanks for your lovely message i am hoping that my journey will be the same as yours in terms if a good result and i really hope that the thing has been got rid of at the surgery stage. Its lovely to hear your success story ! Thanks again for your support and big hugs
Thankyou very much fir your replies and good luck wishes - really glad the day has arrived and heres hoping forva really good result ! Take care everyone and all the best
