Good Luck
Dear Leslie Thanks for becoming a new friend and sharing your update with us...Are you able to mention the drugs Avastin/Gemzar to your onc.? My Ca125 has reduced from 7500 to 52, as a stage IIIc. I found out about this drug from Anita, when my CA125 had tripled to 984 on Doxil. After mentioning it to my Onc.decided to use it and it`s reduced by numbers significantly with only 2 treatments.I`m sending you some good luck to go with your sunshine! xxLinda

Dear Leslie I have Stage IIIc peritoneal cancer. I had a complete hysterectomy and debulking surgery. My surgery was considered to be a succes however I`ve been on chemo since August with no respite. This DS site is wonderful, having many courageous women with lots of stories and support to share. Always feel free to ask any questions, as you can be guaranteed that one of us has had a similar experienc. Hope we can become friends! xxLinda
