Hi, I was diagnosed on Dec 2019, high grade fallopian tube cancer in stage 1, had radical hysterectomy, etc, and 6 cycles of carbo\taxol from march to july 2020, BRCA negative in blood. On september 2021 my CA 125 marked 80, it was 13 on june, and a reccurrence was confirmed in January 2022 in 8 areas of my abdomen peritoneum, 2 small tumors and the rest still very small. Sending my old and new tumor for studies. No surgery is possible at this moment. Any ideas, advice or similar case? Thanks ❣️

Hi , I'm sorry to hear that you've had a recurrence. My situation isn't too unlike yours, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in June 2005 ,I was 48 yrs old, like you had surgery followed by taxol/carbo . In May 2017 something was spotted on a routine scan and a pet scan confirmed a recurrence, I did have surgery and had many complications as a result but eventually went on to have 6 rounds of carbo/gemzar, I've been on letrozole since and have had no further problems thankfully, bloods every 3 months and CT scan every 6 months, I hope things run smoothly for you 🤞🤞
