Recent Questions to the Doctor


My 46 yr old girlfriend has Stage IIIB OVA with a metastasis in a single lymph node of the celiac axis node, confirmed by PET/CT scan recently, she underwent Carbo/taxol chemo-6 sessions finishing 2 weeks ago. Her CA-125 is down to 10 from 45.  Can RFA be done for the node as it is likely inoperable due to its location near the aorta?  It had an SUV of 7.0 in March but we haven't got the Pet/CT results from a week ago yet. We have a well-known surgeon-gyn/oncol Dr. Michael Berman from UCI and GOG trials. Do you know him?  We will be willing to try RFA if it makes sense to and if it can lead to a favorable outcome on getting rid of the lymph node involvement.  She has medium differentiated cells, was "optimally debulked" and that was the only metastasis at the time. All of the lymph nodes in the abdomen around the peritoneal area came back negative. Dr. Berman also removed the omentum, and a couple of malignant nodes , one on the bladder and the top of the vagina with plenty of margin. He is less concerned with the abdomen than he is with the celiac lymph node. We are willing to travel and find no expense to be spared. If you can respond to this message it will be greatly apreciated.
