I was wondering among those who received carbo/caelyx/doxil for first recurrence, if you achieved remission or stable disease, how long did it last?

After finishing caelyx I was put on Olaparib 6 weeks later in 2020.I have been taking this now for 3 years. Feeling well and CA125 is usually 4/5 each month after blood test.

Hi. I had a partial response to carbo/caelyx then went on Olaparib a month later and the cancer disappeared after a few months. I was on Olaparib (somatic brca1) for three years until my oncologist took me off it in February. I’m still ned.

I had carbo/caelyx in 2014 and have been in remission since then. It was my second recurrence so my third lot of chemo but the longest remission period.

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Stage IIIc low grade serous ovarian. [edited by moderator]. I was diagnosed 5 years ago. Cancer came back 3 years later. Now I'm in remission. Good antibiotic, chaga and Turkey tail help me through my journey.

Also, celery juice first thing in the morning and not drinking liquid for 20 minutes helps me with my stomach issues. Pure miracle. None of the prescriptions helped. [I] stay away from sugar [edited by moderator].

I’m now back on the schedule of 3 Cat Scan and living my life the best way I can! No maintenance drugs now as he’s keeping them up his sleeve if needed in future and I’m happy with that.

I hope this helps. Hope she feels better soon.
