      <title>alternative treatments for ovarian cancer</title>
      <description>I, too, am interested in any sucessful alternative treatments for ovaian cancer.&amp;nbsp; In May 2006, I&amp;nbsp;was diagnosed with &amp;nbsp;stage 3-C, had surgery, then 6 months of chemo ,was in remission for 6 months with the cancer returning this July. &amp;nbsp;I am currently back on chemo (Gemzar) - just finished first round of chemo (3 weeks on, 1 week off) with my CA-125 returning elevated - baseline 4 weeks agos was 387 - reading today come in at 599The doctor said that this was not unusual (?) that teh &amp;quot;tumor could be breaking up and the antigens are free-floating in my system, thus the temporaty elevated CA-125 count&amp;quot;. I&amp;#39;d be interested if anyone else has experienced this.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Also interested to hear of any postivie experiences with alternative treatment.&amp;nbsp; Thank you.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;</description>
