I got diagnosed then had to do 6 rounds of pacitaxel & carboplatin. Then I asked if it was operable, they decided it was and in December 2024 had further debulking surgery, so removal of tumour and nodule on my colon. Now I'm waiting on PARP inhibitors, as I'm homoglobus recombination deficient. I'm okay so far, but debating on PARPS.

I'm 73 got told Nov at moment on chemo carbo platinum 6 sessions ,coming 3 Rd end this month .fingers x it works ,doctor hintered on surgery but narrrr to old .if I get 2 or 3 years I'll be happy .if I had been young maybe different. How are you feeling about it all ?
Has spread to the whole of the peritoneum? So just on carboplatin? Ummm I'm angry that they didn't tell me that I was HRD positive, at the beginning. But I'm living life like I want to. Glad it's removed though.
Keep fighting it. Hope chemo is not too hard on you.
Don't know yet if its spread will find out at end of 4th session ,yes just on thst st mo .What is HRD ?Nice to hear your living it up .Chemo OK, not had any bad side effects up to now .
it's called Homoglobus recombination deficiency. So a cell loses its ability to repair double strand DNA breaks. They should give you another CT scan see if the chemo is working.
Ummm good question, I blame stress. No one knows how you get, there's loads of factors but stress is top of the list. There's lots of other things. I'm focusing on being here and not letting cancer get me.
