Hi lovely ladies,

This is just my usual six monthly update to let you know my CA125 is still 8. It's been 11 years now since I was diagnosed stage 3C so as you can imagine I'm very pleased to have got this far. I wish you all the very best for the future and hope this gives some of you hope. xx

[PyjamaDay]

Wonderful to hear this! thank you for sharing. Do you mind me asking if you had the usual chemo/surgery/chemo? And any maintenance post first-line?

[ZenaJ in reply to PyjamaDay]

Thank you. I had surgery first. A very long operation to remove the tumour which had stuck to my bowel. I then had 18 weekly doses of chemo and a scan. That's it. No maintenance. I don't know if they had it then. One stay in hospital with a bowel blockage and no recurrence. I've been very lucky and wish everyone else the same. xx

[PyjamaDay in reply to ZenaJ]

Absolutely fantastic!!! thank you

Love Denise xxxxx

[ZenaJ in reply to Frenchhouse3]

Thanks Denise, I hope all is well with you. Love Zena xx

[Frenchhouse3 in reply to ZenaJ]

Hi Zena, sorry for late reply.

Unfortunately, after four and a half years NED after finishing chemo, I have a recurrence; starting chemo this Friday.

In top of this, my husband is in hospital until he can be transferred to a nearby care home for his early onset, advanced Dementia.

I just can’t look after him anymore. I think I’m more devastated about this than the cancer.

However, got to go for it and get well again so that I can visit my husband and take him for walks and lunches and hopefully a few special things for myself.

Life is so precious.

So, so happy you’re doing so well, hopefully I’ll be NED again in February!

Xxxxx

[ZenaJ in reply to Frenchhouse3]

So sorry to hear this Denise. You've come through it once and you'll do it again. You sound positive and strong.

Sorry also, to hear about your husband. I know how upsetting this is but I'm sure you'll be up and about soon and visiting him just as you want to. It's something to look forward to as well. It's just not fair that you have all this on you at once.

I wish you all the very best with your chemo and please keep me informed how you're getting on. Private message if you want to.

I'll be thinking of you and sending a big hug. Love Zena xx

[Frenchhouse3 in reply to ZenaJ]

Thank you so much Zena, I will keep in touch.

Just can’t wait to crack on.

I think the immense stress of the last 9 months hasn’t helped, though dear Geoff couldn’t help what happened to him. He was the best husband I could ever had wished for.

He always put me first.

Lots of love xxxxxxxxx

[ZenaJ in reply to Frenchhouse3]

And you're doing the same for him. xx

[Frenchhouse3 in reply to ZenaJ]

Ah, thank you xxxxxxxx
