I have a recurring ovarian cancer. I'm treatable but not curable.I had radiotherapy in January to reduce a recurrence and my Ca125 went down to 21. It's now 48 ash's I'm told I can't have a scan until I have symptoms which strikes me as odd. I was having 3 monthly scans and was expecting one next month

CA125
Morning lovely ladiesJust wondering if anyone knows anything about a 'normal' CA125 level, mine has now dropped to 9.2 and had my last chemo yesterday, CT scan next week then the agonising wait for my results. I have clear cell OC so CA125 results are not an accurate indicator. Does anyone know the normal

low grade serous ovarian cancer
hello I’m new to the group but I was diagnosed with low grade ovarian cancer in October 2020 and have since had a radical hysterectomy in December 2020 followed by 6 rounds of chemo starting in June 2021 which didn’t remove all the cancer I was given a course of letrozole but this didn’t work for me.

Living with cancer
Hi All, Hope you are all keeping strong and positive, which is not always easy! I was wondering if there is anybody out there who is or has been in my situation. I am stage 3C HGS with three surgeries and three lots of chemo. My surgery was a failure last year as they could not remove all the cancer

HI, My father recently had his Permanent Residence ( Green Card) approved to USA. He is a chemo naive mCRPC patient with current PSA of 3.41 ( full case history in profile) . However, he isn't eligible for medicare due to insufficient residence and employment requirements. We are hoping to buy insurance

Hi everyone. At noon today it will be ten years since I went to A&E with pain in my legs. I couldn't get a doctors appointment which on this occasion turned out to be lucky because I was diagnosed with stage 3C Ovarian cancer and examination. I had the op and chemo like everyone else and have been so

Docetaxel
I’ve completed my 3 doses of EC
chemotherapy
with few problems but 4 days post docetaxel I’m struggling. My temperature started to increase 4 hours post first GCSF injection, I have been checked out at hospital and my bloods are ok, cultures due back today but not expected to be abnormal.

I am physically tolerating the chemo well after 2 sessions, though I feel so irritable, angry, intolerant especially during the few days after the chemo. I feel horrible for being so impatient with
