Chemo question
Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer a couple days before last Christmas so I am early in my journey and feeling very scared and discouraged. Since my tumor is too large, I can’t have surgery yet. I had my first taxol/carboplatin treatment last week. I had an allergic reaction

ibc stage 1 chemo or not
Hi I got a recommendation to have chemo based on my Oncotype test score of 28. I don’t know if I should have the chemo done or not. I just don’t want to tear down my body if I don’t have to. The standard is 25 or greater. I am stage 1 ibc no lymph node spread. Would proceed to radiation next

My Tumour is shrinking
I am at the end of chemo cycle. In August my tumour was 1cm after I had the MRI. So 80% removed from right side of my brain. I have gone to 1cm to 1.5cm. In the three MRI's. My latest one has shunk so much I think it is now a 1/4 in size, comparing August mri to this mri. I am so pleased. I have

ongoing consultation after finishing chemo
Sorry trying not to moan but feel just a little bit alone. I finished 6 cycles of chemo last September everything was fine , had a scare in October as I had a cyst on my bowel ( due to low immune system) it burst as it was being drained and ended up in ICU with sepsis. I had my bloods done and a phone

Cold cap advice?
Im a very lucky gal whose cancer was caught early (by accident) at stage 1c. I've had surgery and about to start chemo tomorrow. Carbopentin only. They booked me a cold cap as I was originally going to have Carbo + Taxil which usually results in hair loss. Now the risk is lower so not sure whether you'd

starting on niraparib after frontline chemo
Hi ladies, I finished first line chemo in December and my oncologist has recommended I start taking Niraparib 200mg daily in one tablet for 3 years. I’m stage 3A HGSOC and HRD+ BRCA negative and I’ve been reading quite a few posts that Olaparib seems to be mentioned more in connection with HRD+ so I

Blood biopsy
My last PET scan showed progression in my T1, manumbrium (top part of the sternum) and in my pelvis. My oncologist ordered a blood biopsy and the results show that there is no treatment for my mutations. So I had 5 sessions of radiation, each time treating all 3 of my lesions. She is keeping me on

Father with Stage 4 prostate cancer in 8 bones.
On 10/25/22 I took my dad (79 at the time) to the ER at the VA for escalating back pain and we walked out with a stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. When I brought him to the ER I expected them to tell me he had lung cancer as he is a lifelong smoker. Additionally, I had been worried about him all year
