Good News!

My blood test, the CA125, showed a good number, lower by 21pts. Hooray! Also, the last three CT scans have been re-read by a new pair of radiologist's eyes and he concurs with the reports that show nothing out of the ordinary. In other words, I am still considered to be cancer-free.

Another good thing has come to my attention about my current therapy. I have been on the actual study drug, Avastin, for the entire time. Even when I was undergoing chemotherapy. The GOG
(Gynological Oncology Group) that is sponsoring the study sent me a formal letter stating my part in the study substantiates that this regimen was statistically significant in terms of survival without evidence of cancer growth. I feel honored to be able to be such a big part in finding a cure for ovarian cancer. Genentech is the company providing the Avastin. I will receive two more cycles ending mid April. Celebration is right around the corner!
