Floxuridine

entering my 9th year after a stage 4 OC diagnosis. After experiencing just about every drug out there including during the last 9 months - IP treatments of Topotean + Avastin & Cisplatin. The IP treatments have reduced my CA125 from over 5,000 to 1,600 and its been stable at that level. My doctor at NYU now feels IP Floxuridine is where we go next - 3 days straight every 3 - 4 weeks. Has anybody out there had this treatment and can provide some details. My doctor says its more tolerable than the cisplatin/ topo treatments - which I hope is true because that treatmnet was really brutal. Other than the side effects of the treatments I generally feel great, work and am very active. Its the damn CA 125 that we are treating. Anybody out there familar with IP Floxuridine? - thanks

Wow....you have been through the mill!  I know nothing about IP Floxuridine but I hope someone out there might.  It's wonderful you feel so healthy and can do whatever you want.  I certainly hope it continues doing what it is doing for you.  Actually, I hope the whole thing turns around and you are able to stop treatment all together !
Hang in there.
Peace.

I saw this yesterday and wasn't able to respond, but said the same thing WOW 9 years, stage 4.  You go girl.  I know you have been thru the mill, but this nasty cancer rears it's ugly head and you kick it to the curb.  I am sorry that I can offer you no info as well, just wanted to wish you the BEST!!
