Unhappy with my last oncologist appointment
Hi ladies I have just finished 24 weekly chemo (
carbo
taxol
) and had debulking surgery in the summer. At my last oncologist visit I said "What now?" She said "I'll see you every three months" I asked her if at that time would I have a CA125 and a scan done. She said "No".

Secondline treatment with Avastin/Doxil
I had a complete hysterectomy followed 4 weeks later by chemotherapy with
Carbo
/
Taxol
for 6 rounds. I completed my last treatment on November 1, 2016. During that time I struggled with ascities, having 3 paracentesis between treatments 2-4. My CA125 was always up and down.

Scared about chemo effects, and the future...
Hi, this is my first post since finding this forum. I have Stage IV high grade serous primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer, discovered when I presented with Pleural Effusion. I've posted a few comments on other's posts but not written my own. Since my diagnosis in October, I've just trusted in

Stage IV cancer recurrence
I was NED from February to September although my CA125 was rising from 15 to 559. In December my PET scan came back showing that the cancer has returned. I will be starting Cisplatin and Gemzar along with the avastin that have been on. Is this just a waste time of time ? Do I really have a chance ?

Hello (again) ....not sure what to do next
Morning everyone Been on here before ๐ raving about the low carb high fat diet. Works a treat for me for a short term fix but the food is just too restrictive and repetitive ( for me anyway as not too creative and don't have a lot of spare time). Now need to continue my weight loss journey but no

Addressing and avoiding post op issues
Hi all In my early days post op just before and during treatment I lived on my couch. It was closest to the bathroom, kitchen, door, and phone charger and I liked being alone at night so I wouldn't bother anyone when I couldn't sleep. I spent a lot of time on Google but, for me, it was a useful tool

Make the days count....
I'm back on same
carbo
/
taxol
and have felt low all day. First time I was so buoyant & went through everything with ease. I was on a mission to prove I would be cured, my oncologist always said long term control but I didn't want that! He has been so pleased with me & I was given NED March '16.

Advice which worked
Ever since my second cycle of
carbo
/
taxol
/avastin I have had constant minor nose bleeds, with unsightly clots and general unpleasantness. I mentioned it to the Oncologist and she suggested putting vaseline up my nostrils. Well I happened to have some so I tried it - instant success.

Massage and neuropathy
Has anybody had massage help with neuropathy? After 10 rounds with taxol, I suddenly got neuropathy in my hands about 4 days before my next treatment. I had happened to schedule a massage on the same day as my next chemo, and since then it has been completely gone. Coincidence or am I on to something
