Hello, when I moved to WI , I started seeing an oncologist not specific to ovarian cancer in 2018. There isn't an OB/GYN oncologist in my area. I was diagnosed in Dec 2011 with stage 3c fallopian tube cancer and have had many recurrences since then. Every time I do treatment, the pet scan has showed activity. Now, my number is rising quickly again 589 to 954 in 3 weeks. My doctor wanted me to start Cisplatin again before even doing a scan. Is there any information out there I can discuss with him about waiting to start treatment until the scan shows activity? The CT scan I had earlier this year when my CA-125 was 976 didn't show anything but we started Alimta anyway. Now after 6 weeks my CA-125 is up to 954. I did have a Pet Scan yesterday so maybe that will show something. If not, I'm thinking about asking to wait until the scan does show something or I have symptoms. Any thoughts on that?
