9/24/2013 - Decided that Mayo Clinic would be the best place for me due to reputation and location. I met with the Gynecologic Oncologist. He confirmed Stage 111 - C ovarian cancer. Thank God that I had my sister Carol with me. She heard the doctor say things that I did not hear.
Of course, I had blood tests for the 3rd time. I assume that Mayo Clinic did not trust the tests done by my doctor. CA125 marker = 426...normal is below 21.
A paracentesis was performed to relieve the extreme pressure on my abdomen. They drew 2 liters of fluid from my very big belly. This procedure gave me so much relief. I lost 5 pounds from just this one procedure.
Hi Cheryl - Cancer doesn't know who it has picked on here. Keeing you prayed up on my end. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.
