Achieved NED but told it will come back in 90 to 95% of cases
I’m platinum resistant. I have ovarian cancer stage IIIB. My first treatment of carboplatin and Taxol did not work. Was put on Keytruda, Avastin and Taxol for 6 cycles. Achieved a complete response with CA 125 dropping from 2400
To 9 and my pet scan showing NED. My oncologist is very happy with my progress but still wants me to complete 12 cycles of Keytruda and Avastin which is fine with me. However in passing my oncologist added even after all this, the possibility of ovarian cancer coming back is 90 to 95%. Now instead of celebrating I am focused on it coming back. Are there any platinum resistant ovarian cancer survivors out there? Would love to hear your stories. Looking for hope and courage to continue this journey. Hugs to all going through this.
