I am in remission from primary peritoneal cancer stage IV as of March 2014. I did chemo, hysterectomy and chemo. April 2014 my CA125 was 7. I had another CA125 test Monday, went to gyn oncologist and CA125 is 30. Examination showed all was good. I will be having another CA125 test next month. Since surgery I have had a burning in stomach but doc says everything is okay. We will keep monitoring the burn see how it goes. My questions are should I be overly concerned about CA125 being 30. Is there something such as diet or supplements etc to get the numbers down? I also had squamous cell lung cancer stage I unrelated to PPC. I did 5 radiations from may to jun 2014. I see lung oncologist this coming Monday. Had my lung catscan last Tuesday. Even though gyn oncologist doc said i am fine I am still anxious about the numbers.
WOODWORKING. THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE IN TREATING A RISING CA 125 IF YOU ARE CLINICALLY WELL. ONLY WE NEED TO TREAT YOU WHEN YOU HAVE A CLINICAL RELAPSE OF DISEASE AS SHOWN BY SONOGRAPHY OR ct SCAN. SO TILL THEN YOU NEED NOT WORRY. IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER 6 MONTH OR MORE TO RELAPSE. EVEN AFTER RELAPSE THERE ARE MANY TREATMENTS TO OFFER REGARDS
