ca125 up from last reading
I’m 49 and in 2019 was diagnosed with stage 1c2. It was found in pathology after having ovaries removed prophylactically due to finding out I was BRCA1 positive. I had 3 rounds of taxol and carboplatin. I might mention that my ca125 was 8 so never indicated cancer. During chemo my number rose to 9.

ca125 result variations
I have been taking ca125 test every 2 months since starting olaparib few months back. From an initial reading of 700 during diagnosis, it went down to 10 mid chemo and 4.4 after surgery and 6th chemo. In the last 3 tests, the readings were 4.5, 5.1 and 6.4 (reference 0 to 35). Are such minor upticks

I was readmitted with a post op infection and treated with IV antibiotics, at the time it was noted I had a high platelet

What follows Lupron and Zytiga?
Hi- I am 10+ years on Lupron and Zytiga (aberaterone), which included 3 vacations during first 5 years. Left hip was radiated (a 2nd time) last June when PSA started to rise (to low numbers) after scan showed my largest tumor, located in my left acetabulum, was “active”. PSA returned to <.05 once again

Exhausted chemo, radiation therapy, ADT. Pluvitco would be my last chance of prolonging my life.

How fast should your PSA drop after the first ADT treatment.
My husband has stage 4. It is in his lungs, ribs, shoulder and spine. Plus a lot of the lymph nodes. No pain except when he broke his ribs just lying on his stomach. That is healing without the palliative radiation. How fast should his PSA drop. How will we know if this is working. I know this treatment

Scientists blast tumors with bubbles in the bloodstream
The prevalent method to treat cancer is invasive and involves the surgical removal of the tumor in combination with complementary treatments such as
chemotherapy
or immunotherapy.

Next treatment options available for advancing disease
I have completed all scans available to me and they show new metastatic disease throughout my skeleton. PSA @ 4.65 ug/L. The disease continues to advance while being treated with Zoladex and abiraterone. I have switched prednisone for dexamethasone and haven't had an updated blood test yet to see if

Care to care for a caregiver?
I feel pretty lost today, and could use a little TLC. Even if none of you can relate to this particular situation, me just making the time to ask for support feels good to me: like I'm doing what I deserve. My Joe has not bounced back after ending chemo in December. (His second assault with chemo:

Tim's Run on the Franco-Swiss border
In 2020 I didnt get Covid but I was diagnosed with another cancer and after 3 months of
chemotherapy
and radiotherapy, all my scans were clear. A really big help was still exercising during treatment and my aim to reach 100 parkruns.

Olaparib side effects
Hi, I have been on olaparib now for just over 2 months, the side effects were worse than chemo so they have reduced my dose slightly. My body is in constant pain I feel almost wooden, limbs, joints and back pain! Does anyone have any advice to make this easier to live with! Thanks x
