Funny...odd funny....that I read the post below about zebras. My husband is a physician and over the years he would periodically say, when you hear horses hooves, you don't think of zebras. That's what I reminded him of before I had the biopsy on Tuesday. BTW, the CT yesterday was not good either. I don't want to look at the report and my husband did not want me to either. I see the surgeon(s) next week and we will see if I am able to have surgery or need to do just chemo. This is an amazing thing since my ca 125 was 7, 8 weeks ago and my ct was good then as well. Unbelievable.
Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers.

Hey Kim. I am SO sorry that you are going through this. Why was yours staged IIC originally? Had it spread? I agree with you not to read the report...I know your husband is a physician, but we are still just laypersons ourselves, and as my husband is a Paramedic and in the medical field as well, there are things that we know or would understand that others would remain ignorant to, blessedly for them. I was staged IIC as well (I think we've talked before) because of spread to the front of my uterus and rupture during surgery. I was told by three of my doctors (including my GynOnc) originally that it did not look like cancer. It was. I was told recently by my Oncologist that he does not expect me to have to "bother" with this anymore...more recently, I went to a local gynecologist for some "spotting", and find out on Tuesday if my CA-125 has gone up. I have a PET/CT scheduled (annually) for November. It seems this beast never gives anyone a real break. I will be praying for you when you meet with your surgeons. Keep up the good fight and let us know what you find out!
