Hi, I was just reading the messages and wanted you to know that you're not alone. Last March 2006 it was discovered that I have this cancer too, that acts & is treated like ovarian cancer. I had a complete hysterectomy 22 years ago so I thought I didn't have to worry about any of that stuff. Anyway, I was working outside of the home and enjoyed being active, walking my shepherd/mix dog, taking care of the yard work. I too kept getting fatter and fatter and my belly kept getting bigger no matter what I did or didn't eat. Felt like I was just getting old and fat. Meanwhile we purchased a house up in the mountains as my husband had just retired. My family doctor sent me for a heart test only to learn that my heart is good. The day before the movers arrived, I went to the ER where they discovered what was wrong with me. They ran all kinds of tests on me and drained 2 ltrs of fluid out of the pluera (the lining around the lungs.) In this fluid they found the cancer marker CA-125 was at 350. In our new location I have a wonderful oncologist I have gone through 6 chemo cocktails of the platinum based chemo, but the cancer found its way around it. Now I've had 2 cocktails of Doxil and I feel great! After telling you all of this, please don't give up! Find a doctor that will give you a blood test to check your blood marker CA-125. I pray the Lord isn't ready to take me home yet.
