Good News Mixed with Uncertainty

My CA-125 level dropped to 5 and the CT scan showed no measurable nodules! Praise the Lord! However... there is ascites (fluid) around the liver, and a little thickening of the peritoneal linings near the fluid. The last scan in March mentioned this also. The doctor said it was difficult to determine the nature of the thickening, and I think she said there was more fluid than before. She wants to remove the fluid and test it for cancer cells, so I will be scheduled for an ultra-sound guided paracentesis (basically a biopsy of the fluid) next week. Thank you all for your prayers and please keep them going! ♥ Caroline
