Some of you may remember a few weeks ago I was stressing about a lot of things and started breaking out in hives. I mentioned that that past 3 times I had hives my cancer was back. Well, I was right. Last week my face blew up like a blowfish and I ran to my PCP because my BP is high from Avastin and didn't want to take any OTC stuff checking first. So my PCP gave me a shot for the hives and a pack of steriods. When I went to my Oncologist 4 days later I told him about the hives, to which he just nodded his head. The next day, my CA-125 came back 20 pts higher. He said "Well, I have to respect your hives. Your body has a unique way of telling you what's going on and I'll never doubt you again" So next week taking a new scan to see what's going on. Currently I'm on Avastin every 3 weeks and just finished chemo October 1st. Personally I don't think this is good. I think its the beginning of the end but I'll be positive until the daisy's start pushing up from the ground. God Bless all of you and I'll keep you posted. I'm sure I'll get though this - I have a lot more to do on earth yet




You do have lots to do on this earth and God will let us know when He needs us. We need you here to inspire us. May you find peace and comfort.
You said it in your original post that you could read your body and the hives!
