Goosebumps came to me when I read this. Thank you so much.

What is it that causes my entire abdomen to lock down and distend fro about 4 days after chemo?

[Fearlessone]

I don't know if this question can be answered but I' I'm just curious. When will Ovarian Cancer be recognize like Breast Cancer. Some times I get upset about not finding support groups and Walk and Runs or resources or T.V. advertising . I hope this will change soon.

Less fond of pink all the time. Services at my treatment center are available to breast cancer patients that I cannot access because my cancers are the wrong color. Nurse navigators for example.

[kissyb in reply to Fearlessone]

Omg I was just saying the same thing to someone the other day. I wish that breast and ovarian awareness could team up so women could find resources to both. But I definitely feel where you are coming from. Hopefully this will change. I think with more awareness more women will catch their ovarian cancer at an earlier stage.

Will immunotherapy after chemotherapy benefit someone who has a recurrence 2 years after a radical hysterectomy from StageIV serous carcinoma?
