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

Hi rose, not long got back from hospital went to veiw my ct scan and see if i could have surgery to remove whats showing on my right side.

but the hospital are saying no because of the risks and after affects so my oncolagist is sending my scan to another hospital for a second oppinion

then its up to me if i wont the op if theyl do it its six of one n halfa dozen of the other!.

because of the after affects thats been explained i really dont no what to do. i got the impression my doc would rather i had surgery

then just chemo.i feel really lost and down today.

big hugs to everyone julygirl58[sharon] xxxxx

Big hugs Sharon, it must be confusing for you, not knowing what to do, maybe when the second opinion comes back it may help you make the decision, I found that although I was given options, they did suggest what they thought would be the best way to go.

Try not to worry and I know that is really hard, hopefully you will feel more positive once a decision has been made.

My thoughts are with you

Love Dot xxxxxxxxx
