Hi I'm Joanne. New to this group and I have Ovarian Cancer. Looking to connect with others with OVC.

Hi, I am Rochelle a year an a half after Chemo for stage 3c Ovarian Cancer . My last scan was clear, but my AC125 keeps climbing . Up to 35 now
It has me very nervous.

If your CA125 has 4 consecutive rises, even if they are still within the normal range, it is time for a CT scan. Otherwise, no worries! One and a half years in remission indicates that you are platinum sensitive, that is why you are still cancer free!

Hi Pam, I’m Rochelle. I had 6 rounds of Taxol and
Carbo platinum. It put my cancer in remission .
I hope it works that way with you.

Hi Pam
I have completed my chemo, surgery, etc. just recently and am in remission. I was stage 3C. I think your success for remission may depend somewhat on your life style. No sugar. Go on a Mediterranean diet, exercise, meditate, get massages. Your chances of beating this thing are very good. Keep up your spirits. You Will win!

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm during everything except meditate and massages, but will incorporate it in my schedule!

Hi @pbprice, I'd also like to add my welcome. How are you tolerating the chemo? Any side effects that you find challenging?

Hello,
I am Madhu Rao, and diagnosed with endometrial cancer, and more recently with peritoneal carcinomatosis.
I am hoping to learn and get support from this group.
