chemo may not be working

Less than one minute read time.

I saw my Oncologist yesterday and he told me that he wanted me to have a CT Scan. My CA125 was still going up. He wants to check if its working or else he will try another one. I did have my 3rd chemo while l was there. I had a long wait because of staff shortages. never mind its over for now.

So l am waitring for my scan which should be in the next two weeks. Last time l was offered a cancelation may be l will get lucky this time too.

I have been having a skin reaction to the chemo so l wont mind if it has to stop or may be not if l find out what the next chemos side effects are going to be worse

    Hi Rosie.  Sorry to here things are not going that well at the moment.  Hopefully you will get the scan quickly and they will get you on a chemo that does its job and, hopefully, less side effects.  Take care.  Caroline XX

    My husbands oncologist told him thursday that his chemo had not worked as well as he expected and they told him there was not point in them giving him more chemo which I can't understand cos initially they told him there were loads of different ones they could try. Hope you get better news Rosie, will be thinking of you xx

    I am sorry Selcey, they do seem to change there minds don't they. My CT scan is on the 18th so l will have to wait for the results.

    I will be thinking of you and your husband too.

    love Rosie
