Update on mum

[Ang80]

Mum aged 55
Stage 3 OVCA March 2005, 3 debulk operations 6 sessions of carbo and taxol
CA125 preop 587 post op 12, Jan 2007 24, Apr 2007 26/27 Oct 2007 31.

Mums CA125 is 31 as of today. GynaeONC is not worried. She said as mum is not having any symptoms the CA125 rising is not something to get worried about as it is still normal. She said the CA125 could be rising due to the infection which was picked up in the CRP test and they are looking into that.
She also said that mums CA125 might rise and then fall, rise and then fall or she said it could be levelling out as its 2 yrs since she was ill.
She said mums cancer wasn't the type which normally returns, but it could still return. She also said that OVCA tends to return within 12 months and she is doing well as its over 2 yrs.
With regards to the lung x ray, the 2 areas which they were not happy about appears to be blood vessels.
They are going to give mum a full CT scan though.

Any thoughts from anyone would be appreciated.

Thanks

what kind of cancer does she have that the doctor says  cancer wasn't the type which normally returns?

Hi

Thanks for your post.
The Dr is seeing her again in 3 months for another CA125, or before if mum gets any problems before then.
How is your mum? How is your pregnancy?

Take Care

Im glad that things are ok for your Mom especialy that shes not symptomatic.
The full CT scan also sounds like a good idea.
Even though her numbers are still under a normal range I hope her doctors continue to keep a close eye on the ca-125 test.
Take care
