Didn't I say my holidays are a disaster. Just come back from my hospital appointment for blood results ready for last session of chemo next week. Last month (the day I came back) the CA125 had gone up 12, this month it has gone up to 617, and that is on treatment! The doctor listened to me saying I thought things were not right, but he didn't have the results, just said have the chemo then the regular post chemo CT scan, come back in 6 weeks. I insisted he got the blood results, and he didn't change the treatment when he saw the results, but he was only a registrar, so is it worth me having 5 days of chemo next week when it is not doing anything? Do I push for an earlier scan, but then the Oncolgist will only say, put off treatment as long as you can. Trouble is I know it is a fast growing cancer, and it could do a lot in 6 weeks.
Where do I go from here?
