Lavender, your CA125 is a nice kinda low normal. What was it when you were diagnosed? It sounds like you're doing well.

Hi there they didn’t tell me when I got diagnosed as they’d done surgery and wanted it to settle down when I started chemo around 8 weeks after it was 19 coming down from 455 pre surgery x

GodBless. Hang in there. Merry Christmas. With this situation ( I was there 4 years ago) you have to take one thing at a time. And be very patient with yourself. Keep us posted. If you need support write again.

I remember that they put a Neulasta patch on me. It has something to do with white cell count to avoid infection. One thing during chemo is to drink lots of water. God Bless
