I just got totally frustrated by Google. Trying to find the significance of various high CA-125 results. Anyone have a good link or two, or good article(s) on the meaning of values of CA-125 results? TIA LB > I just got totally frustrated by Google. > Trying to find the significance of various high CA-125 results. > Anyone have a good link or two, or good article(s) on the meaning of > values of CA-125 results? Hi LB, I've just tried searching 4 or 5 different ways (including value OR trend "Cancer Antigen 125") and find nothing with specific values. Tim was using a "trend graph" (during treatment). He seemed to feel that showed the response to treatment. If the CA-125 went down. Medline - percentages - it's old, 1989 - regarding potential for second look surgery <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=2 778499&dopt=Abstract> What would you be using it for? Maybe the graph idea would help?

I had a feeling you'd look at it anyway. J > > http://www.thedoctorsdoctor.com/labtests/tumor_markers.htm > > > see Recommendations... [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > I had a feeling you'd look at it anyway. > J Well we got the CA-125 results from yesterday and they are bad. It went up. Means end of Topotecan via a pump. Since this was about the 4th round things do not look good. Thanks for your support. LB > Well we got the CA-125 results from yesterday and they are bad.

LB > We go to the onc today. I am very nervous as to what is going to be said or > done. Will post back later. My thoughts will be with you both .. J > I have started a new chemo Gemzar..... quietened me down a bit LOL... Ah, now I get it. When she's got funner things to do, we don't hear from her. I think I heard that Gemaz is a little easier to tolerate, so hopefully it won't quiet you down too much. Many hugs, Sam J >> I have started a new chemo Gemzar..... quietened me down a bit LOL... > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Many hugs, Sam > J LOL... no you dont quite get it.Chemos that other ppl barely tolerate, I breeze through, working full time, leading an active life, never losing a hear on my head. The so called easier ones knock me for 6!... dont ask me why or how...nothings ever simple for me. Its the chemo brain... its get me every time. Though in between a paracentisis, and a short hospital admission we did have time to go to a folk concert, Eric Bogle. Fantastic!! AScottish Aussie who sings such socially important songs with great lyrics. (Am I supposed to put that kid of info in this newsgroup)? Ah.... life is a great journey!! > >> I have started a new chemo Gemzar..... quietened me down a bit LOL... > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > how...nothings ever simple for me.

I also see some, on the breast cancer newsgroup, mention that chemo brain isn't taken seriously (by employers I think) - hard to keep working or go back to work immediately after. I don't see it mentioned as side effects either, so it's underestimated. > Though in between a paracentisis, and a short hospital admission we did have > time to go to a folk concert, Eric Bogle. Fantastic!! AScottish Aussie who > sings such socially important songs with great lyrics. (Am I supposed to put > that kid of info in this newsgroup)? no, because then I feel compelled to go look them up :-) Interesting person/singer. I think he toured parts of Canada in yr 2000. I must have missed him. > Ah.... life is a great journey!! Yes, it is. J > > Though in between a paracentisis, and a short hospital admission we did have > > time to go to a folk concert, Eric Bogle.

Sam, I hope you realize that I was just kidding about the "no"? We do OT"s (as I'm doing now) or should, if the threads are more about the OT subject than the cancer Hugs J |
