Good morning everyone,
Went to my Dr.yesterday and got the results of my CT scan. Here is what was seen. NOTHING, Can you believe that. My blood clots and tumors did not show up at all. It is like a dream.
My treatment now is going to be the AVASTIN ONLY every 3 weeks as a maintence. The trial study nurse told me it would continue untill me or my Dr. takes me off. OR if the tumors come back and esclate in growth. I still wish I knew if I am getting the real thing or placabo. I am feeling real good and seem to have no side effects.
My only complaint is my neuropathy and a hernia but don't get me wrong as I am not complaining. I thank all of you for your good wishes,Big hugs ,Carol

Dear Carol
I`m so thrilled for you...I`m still on the Avastin/Gemzar and having a CT scan in a few weeks. However, my CA125 is at 25. Did you ever get a recent reading on your CA levels?
Congrats on the great news.

Wonderful news Carol. It seems to me you must be getting the Avastin, since you have such good results. I am curious about your CA 125 also. Love and hugs. Anita

Hi ladies, Thanks to all of you,
Anita and Linda, my ca125 has not gone over 15 in many months. They check it about every 6 to 9 weeks. It did not even go higher when my cancer returned this last time sooooooooo you cannot entirely count on that being a true indicator.
I wish some of you were here to help me celebrate as my family does not even give it a thought. I don't think they even realize how great this news is. Oh well'''''''' Hugs,Carol

I wish we were there also to help you celebrate. I think our family's just expect us to be okay. They do not know the angst we have about all of this. We who have been there know all about it. Love and hugs.
