Chemo progress
PSA 139 @ DX1-2024 started Orgovyx and Nubeqa dropped PSA to 62.93. Started Chemo 1st infusion..PSA 23.3 2nd infusion..PSA 11.26 3rd infusion.. PSA 7.45 Just got my labs back for the 3rd infusion. Just feel disappointed as I was hoping for a larger drop and seemed to have stalled out. Does it look

Spotting - ovarian cancer
I have stage IIIb ovarian clear cell, and I had my first chemo infusion 10 days ago. I've just started to feel a little better after all the side effects. A worrisome new symptom has come up today (Sunday), which was a little spotting when I went pee. I had a total hysterectomy in September, and I can't

Blood work question
My husband just got round # 4 of chemo yesterday and bloodwork was done the day before. Doctor not concerned with anything on the blood work and did say that it is expected to change with each round of chemo. Everything looked good and hardly any changes but one flag I see was the Red cell distribution

Stage 4 OC — Deposits on liver
Hi ladies! Could do with a bit of advice, as am spiralling a bit. For context, my Mum (54) was diagnosed with HGS stage 3c/4a OC in Jan 2022. BRACA gene negative. Immediately started three rounds of chemo, then had optimal debunking surgery and full hysterectomy, and continued with three more rounds
