Update

I have completed 6 rounds of Carbo/Taxol chemo in a clinical trial involving the possibility of also getting Avastin.  My CA 125 was over 2900 before debulking surgery and as of today 11/26/08 it is 31 which officially puts me in remission according to my oncologist, barely but I'll take it.  To all those who have given me support and encouragement, I offer you my heartfelt gratitude.  I know it ain't over but at least I get a much needed break!  
I will continue in the protocal for now which involves 15 more rounds of either placebo/Avastin as a maintenance drug.  Hoping to be part of a new gold standard for newly diagnosed women if this treatment proves effective.
Happy Thanksgiving!  This one will be different from all prior ones for me for sure.
Sharon
