Frustrating Stories

I went to the Dr Thursday and my CT scan showed that the mass was now surrounded by fluid. The Dr said that this was good. Now the bad news my CA-125 has gone up to over 850. This has me worried as I really thought that this new chemo was working. She is going to give it 4 more weeks and seee if things get better. If not I guess we will change to something else.

Ok, I finally went to have the transvaginal ultrasound, and guess what? They couldnt find my ovaries. However, they did find that my falopian tube is filled with fluid and is twisted, and looks like a big sausage. So, basically all I know is that I have a big sausage and NO EGGS!.. I am very frustrated. My gyne-oncologist appt is the 15th, but I am calling tomorrow to get an app...1 Recommendation4 Comments

I went for my blood...1 Recommendation4 Comments

Went for my chemo today and could not get it due to my Hemogloben being to low. I have to go for a blood transfuseion on Friday.Will get two units. This is my first with this experiance at being transfused. Dr. also put me on a special Iron and almost doubled my Aranesp shot.
I sure didn't expect this to happen.
Hope ya all have a nice Thanksgiving. Carol1 Recommendation6 Comments -
Hi Everyone,
I'm up again not able to sleep and not sure why. This is frustrating! I'm not in pain or anything like that and I have taken all the medicine that they have given me to help me sleep and it isn't working.
The nausea and vomiting from the chemo is better, I'm just having some nausea at times.
The weather has warmed up and almost all of the 18 1/2 inches of snow is gone ...1 Recommendation9 Comments -
Sorry that I haven't written in so long. Everytime I think about writing something comes up.
I go get my blood drawn and CT scan done on Thurs. 4/16. The Dr is worried because my CA-125 went up higher then she had wanted and she isn't sure that the Doxil is working. I amm praying that she is wrong and that when I go the number will be down and the CT scan will be improved. We should get t...1 Recommendation5 Comments -
