there's little difference between early and delayed treatment of an ovarian cancer recurrence.  A study was done, and reported at ovariancancer dot org, showing that there is little value in treating an ovca recurrence when it's first detected by a rise in CA-125 readings.  Looks like you can safely wait until there's other evidence of the relapse.   I found this report in an October newsletter from the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance.

Some women on this forum seem to like the idea of giving their bodies a rest from chemo for as long as possible.  I think it's a personal choice, which is why I posted the link.

I know I wouldn't want to wait......wait for what?
Peace.
