I was diagnosed with Stage 3c ovarian cancer in Sept 2003, treated with 8 rounds of carbo, taxol and gemcitabine. The cancer recurred jan 2008, with the finding of a para-aortic lymph node. This was successfully resected 2/08. On a post-surgical, pre-treatment CT scan, liver mets were seen (2, <1cm). I have now completed 6 cycles of carbo and gemcitabine. One of the liver mets is gone, the other stable since a CT scan 3 months ago (6-9mm).
Over the last 2 months, my CA 125 as been normal, but has gone from 5 to 7 to 11. My oncologist is recommending a break from treatment because of bone marrow depression, especially platelets, and repeating a CT scan in 2 months.
I feel well, work and am active. What would your recommendation be at this point? Do you recommend particular drugs for liver mets? Have you had experience with high frequency radio-ablation for liver mets?
Thanks in advance for your response.
