Sorry I've been neglecting to update. Not anything new - all looks good.
I'm still getting the Avastin trial every 3 weeks. My CA-125 was most recently at 9 (which is good).
I get a CT scan in a couple weeks, Dr. says should just confirm that all is well.
thanks.

More Good News
Just got word from my Oncology Office that my trial has been "unblinded" and that I indeed am in Arm 3.
Arm 3: Avastin in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy followed by the maintenance use of Avastin alone, for a total of up to 15 months of therapy.
The study showed that women who continued maintenance use of Avastin alone, after receiving Avastin in combination with chemotherapy (Arm 3), lived longer without the disease worsening compared to those who received chemotherapy alone.

Still looking good
Saw the Dr. today. She has changed her last name to Finklstein from Moller to match her daughter and husband's last name.
All looks good. My CA125 is down to 7 and my recent CT scan is clear.
So, all is good!

Update after latest chemo -still good news
Had chemo trial treatment yesterday. Dr. says everything still looks good. CA-125 is at 8, she can't feel any signs of growing tumors. I get my next CT scan in about a month.
Took the kids to Pagosa Springs last week. They had fun snow boarding while I read a book in the lodge (had headache and knee is not in great shape.)
My parents are now here visiting. Dad seems to have the flu and is down for now. Hopefully is on the uphill.
Kids are enjoying the "chill" time away from school. Jodi still has wrestling practice every morning, but has rest of day for play - no homework!
Wish everyone a great holiday and hope for a fun 2010!

Latest check-up
I saw the Dr. on Wednesday, and all is still good. My CA-125 is 9, and no sign of tumors.
Had cycle 12 of the Avastin trial. I found out there are 22 cycles (every 3rd week) instead of the 16 I had thought. So, I'll be having chemo until mid summer.
