I have ovarian cancer

Hi Colleen,
I was diagnosed February of 2014. I'm currently on Avastin for maintainence but my CA125 has been increasing over the past 3 months. I completed my 1st recurrance chemo last September. My last CT was clear except for a small amount of fluid in my lungs, which could be the culprit. My next scan is in a few weeks. I suspect I'll be back on chemo soon. Wondering about treatments and /or clinical trials that others with 2nd recurrance are I in and how they are doing. I'm NOT BRACA positive and guess I could be platinum resistant as my numbers started to increase after just 6 months. I'm feeling good. I have a good support system and a positive attitude. Enjoying life one day at a time.

Appreciate any and all input. Thanks, Joanne

Hello, I have just found out about my recurrence a month ago with pain in my right lower pelvis, the scan showed the recurrence. My CA125 was up and had been gradually going up over the months. I had two differences in opinion on what to do. One Oncologist favoring Carbo platin and Doxil and the other favoring surgery and then followed by Carbo and Avastin , or another drug . I was in remission for 18 months with Carbo and Taxol . Has anyone had this experience?
