Today is one of those days

[Luvliving]

I try 2 be positive but realistic. Today is one of those tuff days. Doctor called 2 inform me that my oral Etoposide is not working. CA 125 keeps climbing. Now it's back 2 the chemo chair😢Once a week for 3 weeks off for 1. I have 3C ovarian Cancer and this Oct 2019 will hopefully complete my 5 years. Like the rest of you I'm a warrior in a battle I never wanted 2 join.I will straighten my crown and move forward. Just today I will cry a bit. Sending love and healing energy 2 all warriors.

Oh you sound like a bad ass. Let's go! 💖!

[Lyndy]

Sending you a big hug... and hoping that this chemo will have it running scared xx

[Lindaura]

Sounds like you will be having weekly Taxol?

I have heard good things about it, like keeping your hair and it not being so fatigue heavy.

I believe that you have not had the big gins Chemo for a while, so maybe this will work for you.

Keep up the fight!

Laura

PS: I take it you are BRCA negative?

[Luvliving]

No it not Taxol been there done that and a lot more. It's will be a new treatment 💖

[Litchick]

[Petuniapig]

I too, just found out my oral pills not working after only 2 1/2 months☹️I’m heartbroken, had such hope for it... same, back in chair tomorrow, every 3 weeks, will be 6 years for me in August..... I cried, now I gotta get the cape back on and fight. My best to you💕💕

[Luvliving in reply to Petuniapig]

I really liked the oral treatment easy to take and didn't tie me down with doctors appointments. But it is what it is. I know how you feel. Sending hugs.💔

[Petuniapig]

Yes!!! I was on Lynparza/Olaparib, haven’t heard of the one you were on, I’ll have to look it up. I felt pretty good, NO nausea which I can’t say the same for chemo, and medium fatigue, all bearable. I’m on my FIFTH recurrence, ugh, and they r trying Altima? Never heard of it. Ugh. Fingers crossed and hugs to us both❤️

[Luvliving in reply to Petuniapig]

Wishing you the best! I will update when I find out my new poison oh um treatment 😉💖

God Bless and stay strong and positive!!

Hi to you , yes it's natural to feel like this. .I'm in the same boat I've been on chemo the last two years, with little breaks in between, disappointed myself today can't have 5th treatment tomorrow as neutrophils are not up enough . But will carry on like you will BRING IT ON AND NEVER GIVE UP WE CAN DO THIS💙
