diagnosed HGSOC stage 3A2
Hi everyone, I’m new to this group as recently diagnosed and currently having 6 sessions of chemo (paclitaxel & carboplatin) every 3 weeks, although just had a delay on my 3rd session as white blood count too low 🤦♀️ and awaiting genetic testing results. I just wondered if anyone else has same diagnosis

what to expect
Is the loss of energy and weakness due to the
chemotherapy
or to the ADT? How long will it take to begin to recover from the side effects of
chemotherapy
? Am I going to remain at this level of energy or will I begin to get that back? When make that happen?

Gem/ carbo
Hi Ladies I started first cycle of gem/ carbo mid September but haven’t been doing too well on it. I was pretty rough after both day 1 and day 8 infusion was even worse even though I’d fully expected it to be be ok. I’m now in hospital with pneumonia so have had day 1 of cycle 2 postponed twice. I

Conflicting MRI vs PSMA scans
Well it appears that the radiologist who did my MRI was overly cautious. The report said I had a met on my left pelvis, one on my right pelvis, one on my sacrum, additional cancer in my prostate region and sclerotic foci in my pelvic region. Traumatic. We followed that up with a PSMA scan 10 days

how to improve appetite/consume more calories. Pls help!
My heart is broken. My dad’s cancer had progressed, he has started chemo but overall is very unwell. He’s lost almost 30 pounds in the last few months and is having a lot of pain. We have to help him with getting out of the bed and at times putting on his shoes and clothes. All the pain medicine he used

Clinical trials
Hi, looking for advice on trials, please. I was diagnosed stage IIIc in Nov 2020. Debulking surgery, then 6 cycles of taxol and Carboplatin - the latter 3 with bevacizumab. Followed by 18 months of Olaparib which then stopped working late last year. At the beginning of this year, I started on Caelyx

How to combat fatigue and low energy from Docetaxel treatments?
Hi all, My dad is currently going through
chemotherapy
treatment for stage 4 prostate cancer (see bio for full details). He had his 3rd chemo treatment one week ago. He is feeling extremely tired and very low energy (I.e. he gets tired from even going on short 5 minute walks).

Clear Cell reoccurrence update 3
Things he is thinking about are a trial with immunotherapy, radiotherapy or
chemotherapy
and he’s not ruling surgery out just yet either. This is a very different approach to my previous hospital who told me they could not offer me anything else after the chemo didn’t do much.

Might blood be good news?
I'm now getting ready for my 3rd Docetaxel infusion. My symptoms and side effects have been very mild. Before chemo started, I was getting pains in the rectal wall, sharp bladder discomfort and pain on urination - along with blood in the urine. As of today, I'm waiting for definitive results from
