Just had consult after 6 cycles carbo/caelyx (this is second line) not much shrinkage. CA number was 40 before 5th chemo and has gone up to 57!
I made the mistake of asking to see my CT scan, never seen one before and I was horrified at the size of the tumours, knew the measurements but not actually visualised before. Niraparib being proposed now but Consultant seemed a bit non commital about it. He is going to ask the Surgeons to review scan again to see if they would consider surgery, ruled out before. On the one hand I would b e scared of surgery and particularly having a stoma, but Im scared of trusting Niraparib! Hobsons choice really, as it will all come down to the same thing in the end, but Im also terrified of that!
Got to wait for decision now, then make my decision if they will operate.
