I mentioned the He4S test to my doctor's nurse today. She was unfamiliar with it. I don't have a port. They said I didn't need one. They said I would have had to enter the hospital to have the port done. I've been to the hospital enough this year so I was glad. Some good news today: My CA-125 tumor marker has fallen to 24.8 from 38.7.

Great news on the CA125. CHEMO IS WORKING! My port was put in ( in the hospital) to enable the chemo treatments, as well as the blood draws! Maybe you donot mind the arm stabs but I did. They had trouble locating my veins. Remember to keep getting blood draws (CA125) even after you have recovered. They told me to expect a recurrence of cancer after my chemo was done. 75-90% probability, but maybe that was for ovarian cancer in the late stages only.
