MY CLEAR CELL OVARIAN CANCER RECCURED AGAIN AFTER 12 MONTHS FROM MY LAST CHEMEO SESSION.

[TAROUZA]

MY DEAR LADIES ,

I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CLEAR CELL OVARIAN CANCER T1C ON JULY 2011

MY SINGLE CYST OF MY LEFT OVARY 10X9X8 RUPTURED DURING OPERATION.

MY GYNCOLOG REMOVED MY TWO OVARIES .

MY ONCOLOGIST SET ME ON SIX SESSION OF CHEMEOTERAPY CARBOPLATINE AND EBITAXEL , I HAVE ENDED MY LAST CHEMEO ON THE FIRST OF OCTOBRE 2011

AND EVERYTHING WAS WELL .

I MADE A SCAN ON THE 20/3/2012 AND WAS FINE TOO.

ON 7/11/2012 I MADE MY SECOND SCAN TO FIND A NEW CYST SIZE 5*5.5*4 ON THE LEFT LOWER QUADRANT ADJACENT TO THE LARGE AND SMALL BOWEL,

I WAS VERY UPSET AND MY DOCTOR ASKED ME TO MAKE AN MRI SCAN .

ON 17/11/2012 I MADE MY MRI AND FOUND THE SAME RESULT AS MY THE LAST SCAN.

MY DOCTOR ASKED ME AGAIN TO MAKE A BIOPSY TO THIS MASS IN ORDER TO KNOW ITS NATURE.

AFTER 10 DAYS I RECEIVED MY BIOPSY REPORT THAT THIS MASS IS THE SAME AS THE PRIMITIF OVARIAN CANCER THAT I HAD FIRST ( CLEAR CELL OVARIAN CANCER ) .

ALSO MY ONCOLOGIST ASKED ME TO MAKE A PET SCAN TO CHECK IF THERE IS ANY METASTASE OR MASS IN ANOTHER PARTS OF MY BODY.

ON DECEMBRE 6 2012 MY PET SCAN SHOW THE FOLLOWING:

THER IS A LOBULATED MASS LOCATED ALONG THE LEFT UPPER ILIAC FOSSA IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH SMALL BOWEL LOOP EXHIBITING HETROGENEOUS HYPER METABOLIC ACITVITY , EVOKING NEOPLASTIC PROCESS AS TUMOR IMPLANT.

AND THERE IS NO SGNIFICANT ABNORMALITY OF F18-DFG OBSERVED AT THE REST OF THE BODY.

MY ONCOLOGIST ASKED ME TO START CHEMOTERAPY ON MONDAY 17

BASED ON A COMBINATION OF DRUGS ( AVASTIN , CARBOPLATIN, GYMZAR ) FOR 6 ROUNDS THEN A SCAN TO CHECK IF THE TUMOR IS GETTING SMALLER IN ORDER TO MAKE AN OPERATION TO TAKE IT OUT.AND AFTER THER IS ANOTHER SIX ROUNDS OF CHEMEO .

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO , THIS MY DESTINY , I HOPE THAT I CAN PASS THESE DIFFICULTIES AND MY TUMOR RESPOND TO THIS TREATMENT AND GET REMISSION SOON.

I HAVE MY TWO BELOVED CHILDRENS AND HUSBAND I WILL FIGHT WITH ALL MY EFFORT FOR ME AND FOR THEM TO KEEP MYSELF ALIVE.

I LOVE YOU ALL , GOD BLESS US ,

BIG HUGS.!!!!!

Dear Tarouza,

I don't know where you are but it might be worth asking for a second opinion. Please call the Ovacome helpline if you'd like to discuss this - 0845 371 0554. Also there's a website called Libby's Hope which is American - it has lots of info on clear cell. I would also suggest asking if surgery is an option. Please let us know how you are getting on,

Very best wishes,

Cx

Hi there

I have clear cell as well. My onc said the best results come from surgery so if you can I would fight for surgery if its an option.
