I was diagnosed with Cancer in March and although we knew it was Cancer its still a shock to be told it. I have had 2 chemo cycles now and have my 3rd at the end of the month. I would love to chat about the chemo side affects to anyone..
I was diagnosed with early ovarian cancer four weeks ago following a total hysterectomy, there were tumours on both ovaries, I have an appointment for a kidney function test and another ct scan next Friday, if everything is ok I start taxolcarbo chemotherapy after that. I was told there will be six sessions with 3 weeks rest in between.
I do hope I am posting this in the right place, I am concerned about the chemo and hope to learn more through this forum
Welcome to the site although it would be nice if you did not have to be here.
The waiting is always the worst part.Once you have your plan and things are underway it is easier to understand.I had breast cancer so can not advise you about your treatment but would like to wish you the very best of luck.Do keep coming on here for us to support you .good luck
Excellent Dot, told you not to give up till the chemo had a chance but didn't expect it to work quite so well but am thrilled it has! I'm on a reduced dose to don't seem to make a diffference to the tumour and to easly to say if it improves the side effect symptoms! When's your next dose (I'm thinking Fri???). Have they changed your schedule? 3 weekly with a weeks rest sounds different to a dose every 3 weeks.
Eileen, glad you got to spend time with your new addition, nothing like a little 'un to cheer you up and wear you out!
Rose your positivity worked for Dot so keep praying for 'no bad news' weeks!
You brought tears to my eyes,I just re-read your posts when you first heard the awful news and what a different Dot we have now
I will raise a glass of red to you tonight,you are a brilliant inspiration to us all.Well done
