Ovarian Cancer patient My life since early May

Diagnosed in June. Doing well on carbo/taxol now that they've switched me to a new taxol formula 💜 they said that type of reaction only happens in like 1% of people. My CA125 Was 412 before surgery. Immediately dropped to 24. Then with chemo, 17. And now 14. My ovaries were 25cm and 16cm. I asked them to removed my belly button, and they obliged. Belly buttons weird me out 😂

I was thinking the same thing! Mine is so much darker and wider. Great healing! Keep up the good fight sister. Tomorrow is my last infusion and I’m ringing that bell. 🦋

Strangers, technically. But we are all bound in this sisterhood. Congratulations to your sister! Such an accomplishment to get through this chapter! I hope she sees clear scans for a long time to come! 💜
