Ovarian Cancer: My Experience
By Shiloh Elkins When I first noticed my abdomen swelling in September 2002, I was diagnosed with Stage 2-3 ovarian cancer, with the CA125 test showing an Antigen level of 1500. A very large mass had grown, over 20 cm in size, by the time of my surgery and full hysterectomy five months later. Just prior to surgery, my CA125 test showed I was up to 5000. After removing over 5 pounds of mass, it was determined I was borderline Stage 4. My CA125 test after surgery was at 98. The doctors told me to have at least 6-8 chemotherapy treatments following surgery.
