Saw Oncologist today. Restart chemo on 30th . Just Carboplatin as had nightmare on Taxol. Ca125 gone from 25 to 175 so not to bad I was expecting a rise as lumps have come back on my neck and think there is some under my arms. He wasn't too bothered re pain in ribs back and stomach he says it's all do with the back fracture.

So I'm going to continue with Slimming World. Business as usual .. Anxious about scan but I know everyone worries about the results of those. xx

Good luck with Slimming World and hope that back fracture eases for you soon!

We can't help being anxious when waiting for results. Oh, and good luck with the Carboplatin too!

Hi The fracture has eased off quite a bit. Walking is helping but told I cat return to running gutted but walking is a great substitute.Not looking forward to the chemo but who does ?!! xxx
