Just had my visit to the oncologist today. To recap, I was diagnosed last September with Stage 4 serous ovarian cancer. My C125 marker at that time was 25,000. With chemo, it went down to 20-something. Started maintenance infusions every three weeks (bevacizamab) back in January, finished chemo sometime in March or April. Continuing the beva maintenance treatment. My C125 marker has gradually been creeping back up; today over 2,000. Being sent for a CT scan of my head as I have no other signs or symptoms and previous abdominal CTs showed no new activity. The cancer in my ovary had already moved to my liver by the time I was diagnosed and is in my abdomen so no surgery was done; no biopsy at the time either. Concern is the cancer might be becoming active elsewhere. Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with the C125 creeping up and what that means. I am feeling so good (normal!) and am not experiencing any side effects from the beva (unless my increased arthritis pain is related.) Just looking for some feedback from others who have been done this path.
