I was told I had stage 4, back in April 2016 ,and was given the impression that I had a couple of months. I knew he was wrong. He was so sure of himself that after I had surgery to remove uterus and ovaries and follow up, I left him and found a better doctor and clinic. This doctor started me on three months of chemo back in Aug 2016. I handled that pretty good and marker went down to 4. But it started to rise. So about Oct 2016 I was put on Dixol - had no trouble with that one but it didn't do the trick. Than placed on hormone pills. In August 2017 I was placed on Keytruda with the marker at 176 and as of today after two treatments it is down to 26. Keytruda has just been approved for ovarian cancer and I would just like to pass this information on. So far the only side effect was the swelling of tongue and Bendryl is taking care of that problem.
