C125 rising

In 2017 was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 3 with severe carsoma. Had surgery and 8 rounds of carbo/taxol. Was clear 6 months. Had a recurrence in November of 2018. 4 rounds of carbo/taxol. Been on Zuella for 1 year. Had port removed about 2 months ago. C125 went to 27. As of today c125 81. I feel good so not sure what is going on. Had a hernia repair April of 2019. Maybe my mesh is messing up

Mama, there have been many reports of mesh hernia repairs causing inflammation and infection. In the US there have been recalls for mesh products. Have you had that looked at?

Thank you for your reply. Dr has scheduled a ct scan at end of month to check.

I'm a bit late to this post, but curious if it was the mesh causing your rise? My mom is due to go for a hernia repair, with a debulking. She does not know if she should do the hernia mesh at all.

Hoping all is well,

Luci
