About Me
I have been a very active person all my life. I am a retired mechanical assembler and trained people at a missile plant. I have one son and two grown grandkids. My first great grandchild arrived April 1st. of this year..Yipeee! I delt with stage 3 overian cancer just a year ago. Have had surgery and completed 8 chemo.treatments. My Dr. called me on Aug. 10th. to tell me the results of my ct scan. My cancer had returned in other places and is not operable so chemo. is my only option. I have opted for a blind study for a new medicine so I will be getting either a placibo or the real thing. My Dr. and nurses do not even know what I am getting.

Dear Carol
Tomorrow I go to MSKCC, NYC for my test results. I still have the cold and haven`t slept since Thursday, so I`m a bit exhausted. Hopefully I`ll stop stressing after I`ve gotten my results...or not :(
Thanks for your support!

Dear Carol
I hope that I can go on an Avastin maintainence regime like you, but will have to wait for the results of this Friday`s CT scan, when I see my ONC on Monday. I was feeling great until I started get cold sores on my lips, sores in my mouth and throat and a cold. This has never happened to me before and I`m awaiting a reply from my ONC to see if there is anything I can take to get better fast.
Lots of love,
xxLinda

I compleated 8 chemos. and surgery. . My treatmets were paclitaxel, carboplatin & a nulasta shot. Update;; Cancer is back and am on a new chemo treatment. Carboplatin,Gemcitabine and a blind clinical study drug Bevacizumab (Avastin) plus the nulasta. Dr. said I would be on chemo. the rest of my life as the cancer has returned in places where it is inoperable. April of 09.Am finished with the regular chemo and have had two treatments of just the Avastin or placabo.
Treatments
