HE4 why so high but ca125 within low range
I'm so confused. I've been reading so much and now I'm even more confused. My mom last CA-125 went down a bit to 21. She never had a high number and the lowest was 13. She was on hormone therapy. She developed a lot of ascites and they saw some evidence of disease growth. She is now on Doxil and

Dilated bile duct & high liver enzymes, any ideas?
Hello, I've been waiting two weeks to find out what my Onc & SN are going to do about abdo pain. Some of it is due to a narrowed colon but the bit I want to ask you about is a dilated Common Bile Duct (CBD). I though about posting on the LIver Trust site but I though I'd try here first. I do have metastases

Mum with low grade ovarian and limited treatment options
Ladies, My Mum was diagnosed nearly seven years ago now with low grade ovarian cancer. Following 9 rounds of chemo (which never worked), she was prescribed Letrozole in 2011. This stopped working late last year and Mum was prescribed Tamoxifen which initially showed positive signs of keeping the cancer

Some other infusion ideas
Hi everyone, I have been on weekly Taxol and Avastin, but unfortunately have had bowel inflammation which meant I could never have it weekly and they are now probably going to stop it. I am really disappointed as it looks as if I now cannot tolerate Taxol and I am also carbon resistant. However, I have

Low Sodium levels
I'm very grateful for this site and the experiences you all share, as it helps me make sense of what my mum is going through. Mum is currently on Avastin and has had 7 cycles. Her chemo has finished and she's on this for maintenance as there was some residual disease. This week she was behaving strangely

Mixed response to chemotherapy
Hi all, just wanted to give you an update that my mum has restarted chemo after surgery. Her treatment consists of the usual Carbo+ Taxel every 3 weeks. However, she had a mixed response to the chemo during cycles 1-3 in that her CA125 went down progressively but the ascites did not subside until she

39 years old, PPC, stage 4B, Lymph Nodes enlarged
I've never been a fan of forums but, I'm lost. After knowing my news for the last 10 days I've only now been brave enough to research my diagnosis. I'm about to start chemo in 3 days and I'm not confident of the treatment I'm receiving and if surgery is an option. I lost my Mam 6 months ago to Ovarian

Advice on next steps
Hi lovely warriors, I'm asking for your experience and advice regarding my wonderful Mum as we seem to be at a critical crossroads re treatment going forward. I'm obviously not as close to her treatment as she is so please excuse me if I get any terms wrong. She is currently stage 4 and her OC is aggressive
