In Good news
Shared with the public

I just got back from the dr today. My CA125 was still at 11 !! I had a CT scan done in Jan. that showed what my dr thought COULD be cancer. Yet, my CA 125 came back good. So had another scan last week . This scan showed NO GROWTH....this along with my good CA 125 results leads him to believe its scar tissue. He said that in the 3 months between scans, that had it been cancer, there should have been some growth.... So I'm back on "normal" checkups every 2 months with scans hopefully only every 6 unless there is a rise in my CA125. Oh girls, the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders. I have been worrying about this since January. I just had to share this! I'm doin' my happy dance!! ;)

Wonderful news! Thanks for sharing your joy.

Bonn,

I can't wait to hear good results for you, too. Just in case, I want to tell you the first CT scan may show a fluid-filled cyst. I think it was called a variocele. It shows up quite often after surgery like ours, then shrinks over time. My gyn/onc told me he'd gone back in when a patient really needed it for peace of mind, but he'd never had one be anything but whatever the term he used was.

It happened to me exactly as he said. By the second scan, it was really shrinking. I'm hopeful your scan will be totally clear, but just in case this shows up, I wanted you to know in advance it truly isn't a cause for concern.

Blessings.

Keep dancing and keep all those "happy thoughts" flowing and keep away any worry, that only brings us trouble we don't need in this chronic problem we have.
