Hi, I was diagnosed 11/2000 with stage 3C, which means it was in a lymph node. Went through surgery and then 6 rounds of chemo with taxol and carboplatin. I've been cancer-free ever since. I do get rather anxious each time I have a CA-125 done, but they've been good since early in chemo, so I just expect the best and so far I haven't been disappointed. I do eat better now, soy and lots of fruits and vegetables and whole grains.
I'm very glad for those of you who have good insurance because I have gone through all of this without any medical insurance. Initial treatment came to about $50,000 out of my pocket! It is something that I am bound and determined not to undergo again, either physically or financially!
