I had chemotherapy and a hysterectomy five years ago to treat Stage 3 serous ovarian cancer. This was successful and I was in the ICON8B trial. Recent CA125 tests have shown an increase in my markers - only very slight but enough for the consultant to book a CT scan.
cancer has shown up in lymph nodes in my lower back. I am now being tested for a Trial and if I am suitable, I will start a course of Carboplatin and MURV - the trial drug.
the lymph nodes are close to my spinal cord and a central artery so surgery is not an option.
this has been found early on but it is all a bit daunting.
is anybody else on this trial? If so, are the side effects able to be dealt with reasonably?
any comments would be appreciated.
