Ive finally reached my destination!!! 10 months after diagnosis my CT scan shows NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE!
Ca125 is still 130 ( has been hanging around that since 1st march )
So, together myself, partner, CNS & surgeon ( who I saw for results ) have decided to ignore the numbers for now and I'm booked in for routine follow up in 8 weeks.
As I'm sure you can all understand this leaves me elated, happy and confused all at the same time! Soooo emotional!!!!
Guess this is the nature of the beast. No one knows if and where it may be lurking! But worrying about that is not where I want to be!
So I guess it's time for mind over medicine, build immunity and de stress my life.
Been on this cancer rollercoaster since Dec 2013 ( with my son )
1st stop to book a holiday!
Insurance recommendations welcome! Xx

Wow! NED, the best news anyone can have. Hope your holiday plans go well. Don't forget to pack Factor 50 sunscreen, chemo plays havoc with our skin's ability to cope with strong sun.
Jessica, I cannot say how thrilled I am for you and your family NED that is absolutely fantastic and long may it continue. Get that holiday booked and enjoy the sunshine on your face. Love Chris
Congratulations on your NED and your excellent way of looking forward, it's time for you to have a really good holiday. Insurewith are excellent, I've used them a couple of times and while they do ask a few questions (which are really pertinent) they are really efficient. Have a fabulous holiday, remember your skin is more sensitive and come back refreshed and ready to move forward, big congratulationary hugs . ❤️Xx Jane
Jess, utterly wonderful news. I'm really thrilled for you after all you've been through!!
Virtual high five from me to you, was also told NED last Friday. Am happy but still cautious I guess. Early days still huh
Def get that holiday booked. It worked wonders for me, I need another one now lol. I tried Insurancewith, but found them a nightmare to get through to on the phone albeit they said it was due to a promotion at the time. I got mine through Boots. Good service & a very similar cost.
Seriously well done though! You deserve a lucky break.
Great news re your NED! I hadn't realised you were not already there? I'm sorry. Have you had your end of treatment CT only just then? Or is this after your Avastin? Xx
Only just had my 'end of treatment' scan on 19 May albeit AM continuing on Avastin till mid October which I'm having every 3 weeks.
Am currently reading what I can to educate myself, and embarking on a change of diet. Juicing 3-5x a week, Leaning more towards vegetarian food with a bit of chicken & fish thrown in. Back in the gym exercising, & generally doing as much as I can to stay well without it becoming unsustainable.
Great news. Such a relief for you. Enjoy your well deserved break. I used Insurewith following advice from ladies here. It did take a while to get through but they were good. Jo 🌻🌻🌻
So pleased for you. 😊Can so understand you feeling emotional. Book that celebration holiday you so deserve. Good Luck wishes to both you and your super Son.
Happy days😊 I am not sure where you are living. I am in Ireland and recently discovered that VHI multi trip travel insurance covers pre existing conditions. In order to have the travel insurance you have to have the VHI health insurance.
