Possibly back, but relieved for now
Hi, I posted a little while ago about my mom Norma, who had her CA-125 jump up to over 1,000 (from 97 six weeks prior). She had a CT scan last week, and while it isn't good news, it's less scary than I thought. The scan found one enlarged lymph node somewhere in the chest, as well as a tiny bit of fluid

Can't stop worrying about my mom..

Amsler grid reading
Having read through a few posts I am a little confused regarding the Amsler grid. I was diagnosed with AMD about 10 years ago in one eye, although at the start there was no mention of this condition. Over the first 6 years I saw numerous consultants nhs and private and from the beginning I was seeing

First Doxil didn't work, then Carbo Gemzar didn't work
I was diagnosed with stage 4 uterine cancer in Jan of 2016. I had a hysterectomy, then chemo, then remission for a year, then it came back. Then we tried Doxil, which stopped working, so on to Carbo Gemzar... Basically the CA 125 showed my levels going down after 1 or 2 injections, but then started going

‘It’s the season to be stable!
Hi all, I’ve had my last Avastin, my scan shows I’m stable and although it has gone up quite steeply, my CA125 has plateaued at 234. I’ve got another scan in January after which the consultant will be able to tell me if I’m fit enough to have a holiday in New Zealand. I’m sending my very best wishes

Wet AMD or Central Serous Retinopathy?
Hi everyone, I'm 52 and have had symptoms of central serous retinopathy in one eye for the past 10 years - on and off. I recently went to a new retinal specialist ophthalmologist who said my OCT scan looked like macular degeneration. He did 2 Avastin injections. The wavy lines I was seeing disappeared

Happy Christmas to all. Enjoy and let’s all hope for a healthy, happy New Year. All the best ladies.

No surgery
Hello. Aunt diagnosed with stage 3. After 3 cycles of chemo surgery was scheduled but after opening her up they said surgery was not feasible due to pattern of spread and would continue with chemo and Avastin. Anyone have a similar experience?

Injections for Macular Degeneration
I am new here. I was diagnosed with wet macular degeneration last July in my right eye. I had it for awhile but did not realize until my annual check up. My left eye is still dry but can switch at any time. I had 3 injections of Avastin and did well. I wanted to switch to Eyelea and finally
