I'm a bit freaked out because I am having my first CAT scan since I stopped chemo 2 years ago for treatment of STage IIIC Ovarian papillaryserous carcinoma. My hair has finaly grown back to where it was before the whole ordeal, and being BRCA1 I have also gone thru a long reconsturction due to a prophylactic double mastectomy. I feel great, feel back to my old self..steriod weight from chemo nearly gone, my feet still have nerve damage from Carboplatnin and Taxol, but at least a feel better. But, I feel so good that I'm freaked out about the CAT scan....my doctor says I have to have it because my CA 125 wasn't elevated when I had cancer, and since it's not elevated now, at all, then we have to do the CAT to see if anything is brewing....
Isn't it hard to feel so good - get thru the entire ordeal - love life - and then have to be put in a tube to sit and wait to see if you will just have to do it all over again...
Just sharing...regardless of any of this crap...live is just freakin wonderful!
