Good morning lovely ladies. I hope you are all enjoying this sunshine and keeping as well as possible.

Just wanted to let you know that my CA125 result is now in and it's still at 9. That's remained the same for over six years now. I was diagnosed just over 7 years ago so there is hope for all of us.

Keep well,

Zena

Superb news, indeed! Thanks for sharing and all prayers and wishes it will remain as such for a very very long time. Take care.

Can I please ask if you are you on any maintenance treatment?

ZenaJ profile image
ZenaJ in reply to Newbie_2020

Thanks you.

No, I'm not on any maintenance treatment. I was never offered anything. Maybe they didn't do that in 2014.

Hope you are well. Zena

Thanks. I am in my own mind. I didn't tell the family I was having the test, they all get wrapped up in their own worlds. I know they're there for me if I need them. xx

This is splendid. Do you still have pet scans every 3 months?

ZenaJ profile image
ZenaJ in reply to Ruebacelle

Thank you. No, I just have the CA125 every 6 months. It's just to give me peace of mind. x

Ruebacelle profile image
Ruebacelle in reply to ZenaJ

What kind of OC do you have? I have stage 3c and we do cat and pet scans every 4 months. dont bother w CA125 cause it never budged from 8 altho i have had several cancers. My onc says sometimes the markers get "blocked." And dont indicate cancer anymore. So now just the scans.

Glad you are in remission

ZenaJ profile image
ZenaJ in reply to Ruebacelle

I was 3C as well. I had a scan a couple of years ago but not since. Let's hope my marker isn't blocked. It hasn't changed for ages.

God bless you for giving us all hope in our battles with ovarian cancer,

Find what you’ve told us wonderful. I am new to this group actually

but find the help and advice and experiences invaluable.

And hopefully makes me even more positive for the future. Love

& Hugs from Sheila in Saddleworth lm a Christie’s patient in

Manchester by the way with a high grade carcinoma ovarian cancer

that as spread to my lymph nodes. Xx

ZenaJ in reply to Realistic

Thank you Sheila, There's always hope. I used to say, even if there's 100% death rate, I'm going to survive and make it 99.9%. There are new drugs on the market all the time and research so never give up.

I hope you are feeling well, you're at a good hospital so you'll get the best of treatment.

Love Zena x

Congratulations! I am impressed that you still engage with this site and offer your support when you could just put OC out of your mind after all these years.

ZenaJ in reply to delia2

Thank you Delia, That's why I'm here, not that I've been much help to anyone. There are occasions when I'm brought to tears and think I think I'll leave but I still stick with it because I've been so lucky and want others to be the same.

I hope you are well, Zena x
