CA125 spike cause for concern

Went to get my 32 avastin treatment yesterday at Weinberg. Have been on avastin with no side effects except that it's held the few remaining cancer nodules stable since 8/20/09. My CA125 jumped up 60.9 pts to 173.9 so it's cause for concern. They are doing another CA125 when I go back in 6/13 for blood work. It the CA125 continues to go up, looks like avastin is history. I'll probably go back on chemo--probably taxol or taxotere--one of the T drugs which has worked for me in the past but has done a number on my hair follicles. Those buggers have been so fried that I'll probably have to start enjoying the bald look. Keep me in your prayers.
