CT scan shows significant increase in lymph nodes plus rising CA125. Planned 2nd round chemo end October.
Well folks the news wasn't as good as I had hoped. CT scan showed one growth up from 1.5 cm to 3. Another up .5 to 1.5 plus another growth. The oncologist said lots of "blobs" here and there. As I am feeling well at the moment the dilemma is when to start treatment. Onc reckons best start 25th October

Next step of the journey
Two weeks ago I received the shocking news that my lung cancer had spread. The cancer is now in both lungs and I have been diagnosed with bone cancer. The initial shock and horror has calmed with the help of the McMillan Nurse, Oncologist and GP........and a few anxiety drugs! I am due to start a new

Carboplatin and gemcitabine
Hi everyone. I'm not a frequent blogger, though I frequently access all the amazing insight and support from this site. So, here's my story. At 45, 6 and a half years ago, I was diagnosed with stage III high grade OC, despite having been under the doctor for the previous year with 'non-specific' symptoms

Hi everyone - still here!
Hi there, I am so sorry I haven't posted for ages or even contributed on here. I read everything every day so I know how you are all doing but didn't feel up to posting - for some reason - not sure why. So what's been happening with me. I have completed third line chemo of topetecan which stopped

Pancreatic Cancer Survivor
I was diagnosed with an inoperable adenocarcinoma in the head of the pancreas in Jan 2007. Yes, 6 years in a few months. Resection was not possible as the tumor surrounds the superior mesenteric artery. Treatment was 2 months Gemcitabine, followed by 30 days of very high levels of radiation concurrent

Cisplatin & Gemcitabine what to expect? Any advice?
We have been for a 2nd opinion at a private hospital in london & have found an amazing dr who was honest but positive with us. He told us surgery would never be a option as there are 2 lymph nodes involved so can not be cut out without the risk of leaving small cells of cancer BUT he still believes he
