I was originally DX 8/1/05 with OC Stage IV. Turned out to be PPC. Had 6 chemo sessions prior to 1/23/06 surgery and 4 more after surgery. In May we saw no signs of cancer so I assumed I was in remission. Had a great summer celebrating my new life, new hair, new attitude, etc., etc. Last month began having that old bloating feeling again, just around the time I had a colonoscopy (clean!). Called my Doc who I absolutely adore, and was advised to get a CA125, pronto. Numbers came in at 161 (damn!) so I'll be having a CT asap to see what's going on. Anyway, I've been really down in the dumps and pretty scared, too. I have been a fighter throughout the ordeal; everyone told me my positive attitude has been one of the the strongest they've ever seen. The problem is, I want to see/read/hear more about survivors of PPC. I never thought that would be so difficult as I didn't realize how rare a cancer this is. I'm somewhat relieved to find other sisters who share my pain and I truly hope to hear more stories of survival.
