Hi! Send you all a big hug, hoping only good news for your health.

Finally my doctor told me my treatment: Carbo platin + gemzar + Avastin, 6 cicles, hooefulky with that the peritoneum cáncer will dissapear. After that, mainteinance with rucarib or olaparib

Decision made after reading a test called Foundation One, done to my 2019 tumor, high grade in fallopian tube, stage 1.

Accepting comments if you have done this treatment or a y advice 🤗🙏❣️

When I recurred I was treated with carbo/gemzar but didn't get the avastin. That was back in 2008 and I've been NED ever since. For me, carbo/gemzar was an easier combo than carbo/taxol. I'm hoping this combo works as well for you as it did for me. Best wishes - Gwen

Hi! I have a question, (if I May ask) how heavy was your reccurence? A small spot un peritoneum or More? Are you in any Parp? Thanks!

If did 2nd round yesterday, and has been just like you said, even went to a wedding last Saturday and danced a lot! Some change in taste, and a little More tired this round, but still, milder than the other protocol, I still have a lot of hair too.

Ca125 went from 800 to 434 after 1rst round, fingers crossed it continues like that.

Hugs!

My recurrence was deep down in my pelvis and consisted of a cluster of spots. And I have never been on a PARP inhibitor.
