I was diagnosed with Stage3C ovarian cancer in Nov. 2012. I had the debunking surgery and started carbo platinum and taxol in an abdominal port. Taxol was given in a chest port the following week. At the end if treatment my scans were clear and CA was normal. Six months later I started cysto platinum, taxol And avastin. I finished chemo in February. In May my scans were clear. But my CA was elevated to 400. I started Doxil. I received my CA today and it was 1100. Today was my second time receiving Doxil. Should I be getting a second opinion. I realize I have a chronic illness and I like my doctors explanations as to why he is going this route. I have tolerated all medicines well.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of ovarian cancer. Now your CA 125 level is increased.  It is a marker of ovarian cancer.  You should search for recurrence of ovarian cancer.  Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
