CA 125 has plateaued after third infusion of carbo. Help

[Hectoria]

Hi everyone,

This is my first recurrence and thought all was going great as had reduced CA125 from 2799 to 94 after first 3 infusions. However I had my 5th infusion today and was told Ca125 had increased to 113. Am devastated. I really thought I was on course for remission and was making loads of plans. Now I am just deflated and convinced I am on the way out. I have not seen my onc but was told she has ordered a scan for me. Is there even any point in having the 6 th infusion? Does this mean I am now carbo resistant? Any positive advice great fully received. X

I think I've heard that gem can have a delayed response sometimes...... like it plateaus and then moves down again?? Keep the faith xx
