Now 9 months in remission from stage 1C Ovarian cancer I fight everyday to ensure that I have a chance to be a part of my children’s future.

Shandra,
I was shocked to hear your story. It is a carbon copy (I mean every detail) of what my wife is going through right now. The only differnce is her CA-125 was 31 before surgery and after surgery it was 100 before her first chemo treatment last week. That has me freaked out! Do you know if an elevated level of CA-125 means that my wife's cancer is spreading? She had no syptoms. We were having trouble conceiving. They went exploring and found the tumor. It would have been a 1a if the surgeon had not biopsied it inside of her. He ruptured the tumor. He told me after surgery that it was 50/50. Well it came back cancer. Cancer that started from endometriosis cells that entered a tumor. They did a historectomy and 3 weeks later started her chemo. She is not doing well on it. I am going to as for the nausea drug that you used. Nothing is working. This CA-125 being elevated after her surgery has me really upset.
