CA125 and Chemo

Hi , sorry to find yourself here, I'm stage 4b as I also had my spleen removed. Personally I would have chemo as it completely kills any microscopic cells that linger and will give you a better chance . I'm thrilled your CA125 has dropped so well, but you now want it to remain they way. 

I've just had my first chest infection after cycle 4 , I've been given a strong dose of antibiotics and have recuperated really well.  

The best advice is to chat to your Onco and follow their advice.

All the best 

Hi thanks for the response. Sorry to read about your infection but glad you are responding well. I have had my first chemo and am on day 7 post it. Have felt pretty awful so far, numb fingertips, heels, severe fatigue in that I can hardly walk sometimes, that may be the filigrastin injections or a combination of those and the chemo. My body feels like it is really numb, is this all usual and does it get any better during the cycle? I really hope so. I had an allergic reaction to the paclitaxel so I was pumped full of steroids. I guess the chemo is doing some good (I would hope) as it is so hard to allow such toxic nonsense to be swimming around. A real dilemma. I have been told I need to have at least four carboplatin to qualify for naripbabib (something like that…) x
