It's not good news I'm afraid. My borderline disease has shown signs of change which are characteristic of low grade cancer. I've got to go and see a chemo DR is the next couple of weeks as they have recommended hormone treatment and a course of carboplatin. It's not what I wanted to hear but I suppose I'll just have to accept it and get on with it, love Kerry x

Big cyber hug for you Kerry. Not the news you wanted but looks like they are on the ball with a treatment plan. Will be thinking of you love Jennyx

[charlie12]

Oh Kerry , this must be a shock...so sorry. But it does sound as if you have a very good team looking after you and that whatever is there has been caught very early.

I don't know what to say....just sending you a hug.

Charlie xx

[Hidden]

Well its not what you wanted to hear but its not that bad either, you will have a treatment plan in place to put this little beast back in its box for quite some time.

[doodoolatrice]

Thanks TinaB1 and yes you're right Suzuki. It was a bit of a shock yesterday but I'm feeling much better today xx

[Hidden in reply to doodoolatrice]

That's right, one day at a time... glad you're feeling better. It sounds as if you're in very good hands and have a good dose of fighting spirit. Stay strong! xx

Don't forget that treatment for low grade is developing. Was at my meeting with the consultant yesterday, and she was on about the mek,tyoscine kinase inhibitors, immunology, hormonal therapy and chemotherapy. She couldn't believe that I was still doing so well with avastin, into the 30's in amount of treatments lve received, especially as avastin responds mainly for high grade oc. Just shows we are all individual in response to treatment lol x

[doodoolatrice in reply to welshrabbit]

That's reassuring Welshrabbit, The whole chemo thing is new to me as I was borderline before and didn't need it. That was why it was a bit of a shock yesterday. Well done you on doing so well, it gives me hope xx

[welshrabbit in reply to doodoolatrice]

The chemotherapy is not bad , it's the unknown that's worse. I found out that I could have antisickness tablets that dissolve, which helped. I have now been dealing with this chronic disease for 5yrs, there is hope.

[doodoolatrice in reply to welshrabbit]

i had three scenarios in my head when I went yesterday, and chemo was one of them as my Consultant had already warned me, but it still came as a bit of a shock. I've been given some literature from the hospital and a lot was explained to me so I'm sort of prepared for what's going to happen. thanks Sherry xx

[doodoolatrice]

Thanks Mac27 and Aemi xx

[Di16]

Sorry about your news. I am also being treated by Addenbrookes, & had some surgery done by a Mr C too. I have since had hormone treatment & two courses of chemo. I've a scan on Saturday, & dr appointment in couple of weeks.

I hope whatever treatment they advise for you does what they hope it will.
