.............................
I INSISTED on more tests, and they (reluctantly) scheduled me for a
CT-Scan (just to shut me up, I think). This is what I mean by taking charge
of our own health care. The CT-Scan showed a lot of fluid in my abdomen
(NOT normal!).
Needless to say, I had to cancel my trip and have FIVE POUNDS of fluid
drawn off at the hospital (not a pleasant procedure, I assure you, but
NOTHING compared to what was ahead of me). Tests revealed cancer cells in
the
fluid. Finally, finally, finally, the Doctor ran a CA-125 blood test and
I was properly diagnosed. I HAD THE CLASSIC SYMPTOMS FOR OVARIAN CANCER
AND, YET, THIS SIMPLE CA-125 BLOOD TEST HAD NEVER BEEN RUN ON ME - not as
part
of my annual physical exam and not when I was symptomatic.
This is an inexpensive and simple blood test!!!Please, PLEASE,
P-L-E-A-S-E tell all your female friends and relatives to insist on a
CA-125 blood test every year as part of their annual physical exams
Believe me, had I known then what I know now, we would have caught my
cancer much earlier (before it was a stage 3 cancer)!!!
INSIST on the CA-125 blood test: DON'T TAKE "NO" FOR AN ANSWER. The normal
range for a CA-125 blood test is between zero and 35.
(Mine was 754 that's right, 754!) If the number is slightly elevated, you
can
have another one done in three or six months and keep a close eye on it just
like women do when they have fibroid tumors or when men have a
slightly elevated PSA test (Prostate Specific Antigens) that helps diagnose
Prostate Cancer.
Having the CA-125 test done annually can alert you early, and that's the
goal in diagnosing any type of cancer-CATCH IT EARLY.
I hope I haven't bored you with all of this. But I hope I HAVE scared
you enough to motivate you to action.
Do YOU know 55 women? If so, at least one of them will have this VERY
AGGRESSIVE cancer - and maybe, just maybe, it will be YOU. I hope not.
Please, go to your Doctor THIS WEEK and insist on a CA-125 test and
have one EVERY YEAR for the rest of your life. And forward this message to
every woman you know and tell all of your female family members and
friends. As the Nike ads say, "JUST DO IT!"
Please don't think youth will protect you, either. Though the median
age for this cancer is 56 (and, guess what, I'm exactly 56), women as
young as22 have it. Age is not a factor. Thank you for your time. My best
wishes for your continued good health.
