Started the 6th series of Taxol 1/22/09. Despite the good news from the radiologist's report on the PET/CT scan, my CA125 came back up 8.4 pts so it was 39.7 which is above the 0-35 considered normal.
Dr. Im was pleased with the report which stated, "No new masses or hypermetabolic lesions are seen." It concluded with "Complete resolution of abnormal metabolic activity within the right epipericardial lymph node and portacaval node since last examination 6/9/08. Both of these nodes have decreased in size. There is currently no scintigraphic evidence of active malignancy." Have been trying to get rid of these two cancerous nodes which appeared during my last period off chemo 6/28/07 to 10/25/07.
I'm to continue chemo until Dr. Im and Dr. Rosenshein determine that I can take a 3-month reprieve. Wouldn't that be wonderful!
