Sorry to hear to the news kkelly. My prayers are with you.

I saw your story on another page and wanted to contact you. My husband died between my surgery for colon cancer and when I started chemo. What a club we are in. Personally, I think losing my husband was 1000 times worse than having cancer. Best wishes to you.

Hi kkelly111, was reading around and saw you had the same sequence of chemo I had,before and then after surgery. I am also IIIC and just finished chemo this week. Had heard of platinum resistance and wanted to know how the doctor said. I was in remission. My CA 125 went to nine after being over 1400 and I guess that is roughly what he is basing it on but also had a good pelvic exam and will have a CT scan on the 24th. ASked him about the platinum resistance and he said he did not think I was but how do you know till it reoccurs? Curious , did you have IP therapy also? Am leaving my chest port in for now because I know the odds of recurrence and want to fight it from the get go if that be the case. Take care, thanks for any info.

What does platinum resistant mean?

Kelly, I was diagnosed in August. Have not been staged yet but doctor thinks from symptoms and ct scan that it is III c also. Will have surgery in November. Have had two rounds of chemo. Talk anytime.
