PPC Update

I saw the oncologist on Tuesday and unfortunately he said it was time for another CT and chemo as my CA125 has doubled again from 54 three months ago. I have only had around 7 months remission this time. I had been having some abdominal cramps and pains so I wasn’t really surprised by the result. 

For this third round of chemo it will be carboplatin only, either 3-weekly or weekly. Hoping it will be 3-weekly so that I hopefully don’t miss any summer weather that we might have! I told the oncologist I was going on holiday from 29 June no matter what! He has booked a CT for when we get back in July and will see me 2 weeks after that.

I feel really well at the moment so things are good. Hope others are doing well with and after treatment.
