Good news on recurrence

Hi Ladies

I’ve had good news from my July scan report. All new growth from recurrence is NED, good partial remission 😊

I had 6 cycles of Caelyx/Carbo after recurrence when 7 months of PARP Olaparib should have but hadn’t work, instead had new growth.

I also started Avastin privately with Lloyds home service. Had two before July scan after my March scan showed only slight reduction.

Worryingly, I’ve still got the original tumour above spleen reduced but still there!

. I’m HGS BRACA 2 had hoped for a trial . Anyone know of any open soon?

Oncologist said no to Glorioso trial, my samples from 2018 too old, a bit like me 🤣

Having a few more Avastin cycles , without a trial I will start hormone therapy for maintenance in October, which is the nhs pathway.

Confused as was ER negative in 2005 with breast cancer so needed chemo now ER positive for OC! Will hormone treatment let me down or be successful??

like all you lovely ladies it’s a rollercoaster journey but I’m still here and fighting the fight.

Best wishes to anyone have a great weekend.🌞

I don't know anything about the hormone treatment but go for it. You are a real trooper. I am on a trial now with avastin and parp. I am braca negative. My disease is stable. I have never been NED and was diagnosed stage 4 in 2006. Sending you good vibes
