so upset :(

[Inguc_is]

I am so upset, just get moms ca 125 and it is 228 :(( one month ago it was 95 , now is 3 month without chemo after 2nd recurrance… i am so stressed… that mean chemo again!!! So fast and will it help?

My ca125 has been steadily riding since August- from 15 now to 750. However I've had 2 scans showing very little activity and my oncologist feels whilst I don't feel unwell with symptoms, we should wait for more chemo. Mentally this is hard but I do believe it's the right decision at the moment. Hope this helps xx

yes it should do. I too am returning to chemo in the New Year as my CA125 has zoomed up. Chemo being a poison it knocks the cancer back usually, then returns in my case it has been a repeated pattern over 4 years !!!! Iside xx

are u still platin sensitive?

[Iside in reply to Inguc_is]

not sure I didn’t ask. They may move me to Tamoxifen from Letrozole. So maybe I am!!!

I’m sure there will be more treatment available to your mum but it’s often the chemo that makes you feel rubbish.

Your Mum’s oncologist will advise what is best & when.

Ovarian cancer is a very sneaky one & can keep recurring. Hopefully one day, someone clever will find a way to stop this 🙏🏼

All the best to you & your Mum during this uncertain time xx
