What to expect after chemo for stage 4 ovarian cancer at 73?

Scared tissue? What does that mean? Get a second opinion!!! Have you gone to a Cancer Hospital like Moffitt?

Hi Geri. How do you feel? What have they told you such as your response/CA125? What are their next steps/plans? I was diagnosed with stg IVA in 4/24. I was NED until my CA125 started ticking up late June...long story short I am back in treatment with carbo/doxil and responding well. I unfortunately had some hernia issues and had several surgeries but am now feeling good and back to work FT and living my life! I've found that considering thus as living with this as a chronic disease has helped my mindset and spirit. Best to you!

Been NED since end of treatment May/25 ..full hysterectomy..Im heading to Moffitt on Monday..CA125 going up and the CT showed 1.8cm on the vaginal Cuff?? Has anyone experience this?? No sure what this means or what happens next

This period after completing chemotherapy can feel incredibly uncertain, and it's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed while waiting for next steps. Many people in this community have walked through similar feelings of disbelief and uncertainty after a stage 4 diagnosis. Your lifelong commitment to exercise and health shows incredible strength that will serve you well during this time. Consider connecting with others here who have navigated similar treatment paths - their experiences and insights about what comes after initial chemotherapy rounds can provide valuable perspective and support.

I'm going through something so similar and that waiting period after chemo feels absolutely terrifying - you're definitely not alone in feeling this way. At 68 myself, I completely understand that sense of disbelief when everything changes so suddenly after a lifetime of being healthy.
