Thanks everyone! That photo was from last week. It was my day 1 of IMG853 clinical trial that is assessing an antifolate receptor antibody versus investigator's choice chemotherapy. I've been randomized in the standard chemotherapy arm and I received CAELYX. Not doing very well today, but I try to stay positive.

Hope you're feeling better today. If you search on here there's lots of information on copying with Caelyx. A sample of my tumour has been sent for analysis to see if it has the folate receptor protein for this trial, so I may be joining the trial soon. All the best!

I do have the folate receptor. I hope you too! Praying!

Hi, I'm also carbo-resistant, about to start on Avastin. Went through chemo from Jan to Oct of 2016, with a few weeks off for surgery in May. Finished chemo in Oct with a CA-125 of 19. 3 months later 55, and its snow balled from there. Best wishes to all!
