It looks like there’s no more options for me as I’ve been in hospital for a week with a bowel obstruction. HGSOC 3C. Had 2 lines chemo close together. Just had Carbo/gemcitabine but it made me so ill. Now I’m just waiting to see what happens. No food or drink.
Any hints you brave ladies?

Hi. The bowel obstruction sounds awful. But don’t give up hope. Lots of people on here get past them and have to stay on a low fiber diet. I’m guessing it’s the cancer causing the obstruction, so they need to treat the cancer. Maybe you can have a reduced dose of the carbo gem regime? I realize you can’t get a second opinion at the moment but maybe could make some calls or emails. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you. Xx
As Delia2 says, don't give up! There are usually other options, it's just a matter of finding one. Advocate for yourself and definitely get a second opinion if you need to (when you can). Good luck, I hope you can get out of the hospital soon. Sending you a big virtual hug 🤗
I’ve been in hospital 3 times with bowel obstructions and have come out the other side. I’ve been taking high dose Liposomal vitamin C and my bowels are much better. You can look for a trial and there’s always another option so just keep going and don’t give up. 🙏
