hair care with olaparib
has anyone tried hair colouring or smoothening when on olaparib. My grays have become prominent in the last year and my hairs are growing back curly (never had curls before in my life) after the chemo. It is not super important to me to do the colouring or smoothening, but if there is no danger at all

I’ve been through
chemotherapy
in 2020 Relapsed early 2021 and went through second series of chemo - finished March 2021. I’ve had no energy since. Maybe due to long covid as well as recovery from intense chemo. I thought I would give Couch to 5K a go but worried it might be too much. Any tips?

next treatment Doxil
hello everyone In July 1st 2022 I enrolled in a clinical trial with AZD (Faslodex in pills) and Capivasertib. Unfortunately last PET scan is showing progression on my liver. Options are Everolimus or Abemaciclib and IV chemo: Doxil. My onc strongly recommends Doxil. Obviously I am scared of IV

No scan offered!
I have a recurring ovarian cancer. I'm treatable but not curable.I had radiotherapy in January to reduce a recurrence and my Ca125 went down to 21. It's now 48 ash's I'm told I can't have a scan until I have symptoms which strikes me as odd. I was having 3 monthly scans and was expecting one next month

I’m scared of treatment
Some years ago one of my eye doctors told me that my corneal graft could be at risk of rejection if I have
chemotherapy
due to the immune reactions caused by chemo. I have so far only read some of the booklet about venetoclax and obinotuzimab.

CA125
Morning lovely ladiesJust wondering if anyone knows anything about a 'normal' CA125 level, mine has now dropped to 9.2 and had my last chemo yesterday, CT scan next week then the agonising wait for my results. I have clear cell OC so CA125 results are not an accurate indicator. Does anyone know the normal

low grade serous ovarian cancer
hello I’m new to the group but I was diagnosed with low grade ovarian cancer in October 2020 and have since had a radical hysterectomy in December 2020 followed by 6 rounds of chemo starting in June 2021 which didn’t remove all the cancer I was given a course of letrozole but this didn’t work for me.

Living with cancer
Hi All, Hope you are all keeping strong and positive, which is not always easy! I was wondering if there is anybody out there who is or has been in my situation. I am stage 3C HGS with three surgeries and three lots of chemo. My surgery was a failure last year as they could not remove all the cancer
