Shrinking or detaching



I have an abdominal tumour from where it has spread up from my ovaries.

  At a recent review both myself and my specialist agree that i have had some shrinkage from just feeling around my abdomen. I am now waiting to go for a ct scan next Thursday to find out by just how much.

I am wandering if it is at all possible to experience any kind of sensations in the abdominal area when a tumour is shrinking or possibly detaching?

Odd question to ask maybe, but then my whole experience has not been text book.

Many thanks for any response to my question  :O)

Hi chemo queen. I felt as though my chemo at certain times of the cycles were targeting particular areas of my abdomen. Sometimes it would be under the diaphragm, at other times it would be concentrating in the lower part of my abdo where there was significant tumour after surgery and debulking. I interpreted this as "Good its working!" and it was. It seems everybody is different and some are more sensitive and in tune with their bodies. Good luck with the scan.

I have also been wondering since starting on avastin. As my tumours have hardened my massive scars and i have lumps along it, technically if the cancer goes this scar should soften as my doc said its only hard from the cancer and the lumps i swear are disappearing. Interesting.

I think it is very possible as long as you feel it.  

Good lick with your scan
