Well, my CA-125 number has jumped above normal... It went up to 36 this time around.

I met with my oncologist first and we discussed the results of the scan and the CA-125 number. The spot on the scan is maybe slightly bigger than the previous scan - but really not much. The CA-125 number consistently going up is also concerning. At this point though there isn't much they can do about any of it.

Afterwards I had an appointment with my newest new surgeon... This is the first male doctor that I have gone to and I wasn't terribly impressed... He is an older man and while he was friendly enough, he didn't seem at all concerned about my scans or my CA-125 number. He checked me out internally and things appear to be fine to him. He wants me to come back in about 3 months to see him.

So my husband was supposed to drive me to my CT scan today since my daughter is away at college now, but he had a conflict with a conference he was supposed to be attending - actually not too far from Huntsman. So I ended up taking Trax to my appointment and then my husband met me there and he drove us home afterwards. I took the same premeds again today along with the Zantac. (Looking back though I think I only took half of the dose that I was supposed to take of the Benadryl.) They administered the IV iodine contrast a little slower which I think helps with the nausea that I have felt in previous scans. Afterwards I had a little bit of a tickling feeling in my throat along with the other symptoms that I have been having up to this point. Afterwards the radiologist came and talked to me and is going to recommend that I not do the IV contrast anymore. I guess the concern is that the reaction may get worse and that is something that they don't want to play around with.
