Had a letter from my Oncologist today, the news was very good my scan showed that there had been minimal change from the scan l had 12 months ago and some deposits were smaller. All great news, but l though that the previous scan had showed no sign of the cancer, so how could this one show less?
My Ca 125 is rising so l am expecting to have more chemo but not for a while yet by the look of things. does not want to see…
It nearly 12 months since my last treatment. I have just had my three month check. As expected my CA125 is still going up its 200 now normal is below 35.
My Oncologist is sending me for a CT scan to see where the cancer is this time and how big its grown. When it gets to 4mm its the time for more chemo. I dont think l shall be having the treatment jut yet but may be later this year.
Well ive been there and done it 4…
I went for my 3 month check today and saw my Oncologist not the Registrar. My CA 125 has now started to go up again. He said it was 150 l was puzzeled because he said it had not risen by much. I said l thought it was 40 he said no its never been down to that. I would have swarn the Dr told me 40 may be 140? I dont know but lm not nearly normal after all. Are well never mind. No action as yet.
Went to see my Oncologist today and was told my CA125 Cancer Marker has come down. thats 6 months after chemo!!!! Amazing. I was expecting to be having a CTscan.
For a Cancer Patient the CA125 needs to be below 35
My CA125 is offically now 40 so hence my "Nearly Normal"
So l am as high as a kite,

I just realised l had not finished with my updates so here goes.
I when on and had 6 sessions of Caelyx and then another Ct scan and then my oncologist didn' twant to see me for three months.
When l did see my Oncologist the news was not as good as hoped. My CA125 had gone down to 135 not under 35 as l had hoped. My Ct scan showed no changes.
What it boils down to is l could (should) be having chemo but because…
