Hi. The dr. Told me it was scar tissue. Only just met her recently and she obviously forgot she’d examined me initially and said i didnt have scar tissue. Done research and nowhere does it mention scar tissue. Can i ask, how is your CA125 doing and was has it been like leading up to recurrence? Thankyou, Marie

[fendweller in reply to RoseMS]

Up to the recurrence it stayed at 15/ 16 ,I was having three monthly checks ,between June (16) and September it went up to 150 , dropped by 38 after first chemo, so hoping it will keep dropping .

My understanding is that peritoneal stranding or "fat stranding" is a change in density in the tissue that may show the presence of cancer.
