Just diagnosed

[coachsandoval]

I was just diagnosed October 18 with ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancer. I had a 6 1/2 hour surgery and the doctor removed all the cancer he could see and feel. I will be starting chemo soon. I don’t know what to expect but I have faith everything will be ok.

I had chemo and had no problem with that at all. No sickness,felt good. Blood numbers dropped but nothing major, slight anemia. My last (7th) chemo I had a reaction half way through. My hands started to itch like crazy, turned red..then I started to sweat and then felt my heart doing something that didn't feel normal. I called for help and they stopped the infusion and then gave Benedryl and something else thru the line and after 20 minutes, I was back to normal and chemo was continued. I asked how serious was that reaction, could someone die from what happened and the attendant said , yes( due to heart). If anyone ever starts severe itching on hands, summon for help because it is an allergic reaction to carboplatin. Why that happened after having 6 prior treatments with no problem, is beyond me but they said it happens sometimes.
