Ovarian Cancer

[tym168]

Good Day to All,

My wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer clear cell and staged 1c .Her ca 125 was 119 went down to 64 on her 3rd chemo

She had a complete hysterectomy and the doctors took out also her appendix and ommentum and both ovaries
She is right now scheduled for her last chemo this jun 13 .

We were hoping that maybe somebody could advice why her ca 125 on her fourth chemo it was 58.08 and on the fifth went up slightly to 58.38. now going into her last chemo we did another ca test and was surprised it is now 61.98.

We are trembling at the notion that her chemo is not taking effect and that the cancer cells are multiplying again.
Her doctor just tells us to wait and finish the chemo and do another ca test after a few weeks.

Does anybody here have any kind of info that can share with us. We are very nervous and hope that this is just a missed test or faulty test or something.

Appreciate any info anybody could share.

thanks and more power to the group

Hi,
Six years ago I had my first bout of ovarian cancer. Now it returned and I am once again going through the whole surgery and chemo again. About the numbers staying the same or going up a little. What I have learned from my Dr. is that the numbers can change from day to day. I think that you both need to stay positive and everything will work out. Don't sweat the small stuff right now because it is so important to keep a positive attitude and the numbers will work themselves out. My thoughts and prayers are with you--keep only the good thoughts flowing.
