I have had reflux for years and taken Bicarb for years. Years ago I went on a holiday and was told to try a particular dish in Santiago, Chile. It was Congria (eel fish) which was delicious but overdosed with cream. No sooner got back to the Hotel, than I was violently ill. Spent days in bed with

Found out it was grade 4 but since then had radio therapy and a years chemo pills. Through all this I felt ok with little side

Mucinous Ovarian Tumour

I had subsequently had blood tests - CA125, CA19-9, liver, kidneys and full blood count, all of which were normal. I now have conflicting advice from

diagnosed HGSOC December 2019. BRCA 2 somatic only. Have had standard chemo, debulking + 2 years of Olaparib and doing well to date.

MPN ET, Hydroxycarbamide & wrist pain
I'm not imagining this. My wrists hurt like hell. I can still do normal things okay, but I'm afraid of twisting motions. The discomfort disrupts sleep every night, though, apart from one night, it does not completely prevent me from sleeping. I have MPN ET. I'm on 12 x 500 mg hydroxycarbamide per

Update on chemo
Saw my consultant today over the start of chemo , he said as mine was at an early stage I am only having Carboplatin for an hour every session and as he told me in his words it’s “mopping up “ anything they didn’t see during my operation so fingers crossed 🤞 x
