risen ca125

[poleglass]

Am away for a couple of days in donegal ireland with my 3 daughters. had pain in side and felt extremely tired so i went to gp on monday to get blood count and tumour marker done. As you know my tumours were tiny so oncologist said she would leave me 3 mths. and rescan me. i was due this at end of july. My gp rang me this morning to tell me ca125 up from 74 to 373! Had to ring my husband to tell him and got upset. This is the longest break I have had between treatments, I have had ,9mths. My gp. is ringing oncoligist to get the scan brought forward.Am once again gutted to have to start this regime again for the 4th time in less than 4 yrs. Lifes a bitch!

What a bast&$**d this disease is, Una. So sorry that you will have to face more of the treatment so soon. Just wanted to send hugs to you.(((xxx)))

It's such a shock at the moment, but I'm sure you'll think your way through this and reach a point where you can see a way through it. I have so admired your humour, common sense and your strength in your previous posts, and I am sure this will help you to get through. For today though, shout and scream and swear, cos, yes, it's a bitch. Cyberhugs to you.

Love Wendy xx

cant even let it all out wendy as my 3 daughters have taken me for a mini break so am trying not to spoil it for them. One of my daughters lives in londON so its harder for her as she lives away from home.Even more depressing good morning is doing interview on people dying in palitive care!!I dont need to watch this. Am doing road collection for n.i. hospice on friday and having a fundraiser in july for hospice. Will just keep busy and focused wendy as cancer cant kill my spirit unless i allow it to, and that is not an option. thanks for the support wendy.xxx

Dear Una

This is indeed a rotten bit of news to process while you're away. I'm not one for expletives but I'm in a swearing mood on your behalf. If no urgent action is required why did your GP interrupt your break away with your girls. We all need to remember to tell our teams if we're on a cancer holiday not to worry us unless there's an immediate call for action.

However, I guess the pain in your side and exhaustion has been worrying you and I daresay limiting what you feel able to do.

Scream away to us. I can imagine exactly how you feel not wanting to spoil this special holiday away with your girls in one of the most beautiful parts of the world.

Time to recap, if it helps, to reflect on how much you've achieved and all you've done for the NI Hospice and for the women of N Ireland. Sometimes when we get down we forget to remember what we have achieved and what has made your remission so far so worthwhile.

with loads of love, hugs, and a cup of Bewleys tea.

Oh Una, I am so so sorry. Like you say, life's a real bitch sometimes. You won't let this cripple you, I can tell. But v tough to keep it all bottled up. Like above, I do think it was a bit insensitive to interrupt your break with this - though at least it explains why you've felt a bit dodgy. Hope you can push this down for the duration, and simply relish the time with your lovely daughters. Makes these times together even more precious, I suspect.

Love
