- Hi everyone. A quick about me and my story. I’m facing a recurrence and it was so out of the blue, I was asymptomatic and thought everything was going great after my original diagnosis in 2014.
- In 2014 after not having a period for over 2 years, I started spotting and went to my GP. A CA-125 results were 126. An ultrasound showed something going on in both ovaries and a fibroid on the uterus. A CT scan was then done. It was all so fast. Before I knew it, we were meeting with an oncologist and scheduling hysterectomy. And after the results of that, there was 18 weeks of Carboplatin and Taxol.After 3 years of my CA-125 results being consistently in the single digits, in June 2017 my numbers jumped to 1715. My ONC did a re-test 3 weeks later and the number jumped to 2952. At this point, he wanted to me to start chemo immediately but my partner and I had a bucket list trip to Alaska planned. 2 days after returning, I had my first chemo - Doxil. My CA-125 had jumped to 6243. Before my 2nd chemo, my CA-125 jumped to 8495. I had a horrible reaction to Doxil so my ONC changed my 3rd chemo treatment to Taxol which I tolerated fairly well in 2014. My CA-125 finally showed a drop to 4555. My treatments are now 3 weeks on, 1 week off.
