Overdue update and mini meltdown in the car.
Since my last update I've had my IP port removed and my ileostomy reversed. The IP port removal hurt way moe than i expected it to. Felt a bit like I'd been kicked in the ribs by a small horse and very sore for a week. Now that's healed, so i can sleep on my side. Small favors! The ileostomy reversal

Sotalol - Confused!
Hi Everyone, I won't bore you with my medical past, but I'm due to have a cardioversion in a couple of weeks time for persistent AF following my ablation. The consultant has mentioned changing my medication from Bisoprolol to Sotalol to help make the cardioversion stick. What has confused me is that

Abraxane -chemo used in Ireland for O.C.?
Hi everyone, following on from some other posts where people had a severe allergic reaction etc. to Taxol, a friend sent me a link - Abraxane also called nab-paclitaxel, according to British Gynaecological Cancer Society (BGCS) Epithelial Ovarian / Fallopian Tube / Primary Peritoneal Cancer Guidelines

Advice on next steps
Hi lovely warriors, I'm asking for your experience and advice regarding my wonderful Mum as we seem to be at a critical crossroads re treatment going forward. I'm obviously not as close to her treatment as she is so please excuse me if I get any terms wrong. She is currently stage 4 and her OC is aggressive

Alternative treatments
i was diagnosed with ovarian cancer April 3, 2017. I had a total hysterectomy and chemotherapy with carboplatin and Taxol. I had my last treatment August 9. Has anyone done any alternative treatments with the result of being cancer free/in remission? Possibilities: ketogenic diet, exercise with oxygen

Side effects of Sotalol
I have been on Sotalol 120mg twice a day for almost a month now. Has anyone else had diarrhea from taking this medication? And did it resolve itself? I haven't read of anyone else with this particular side effect. It started a couple of days after my first dose. Before that I was on rate meds. with

Opinions and advice needed
Hello lovely ladies, I'm hoping for some opinions on my situation. To summarise what has happened, I was diagnosed with stage 3a ovarian cancer back in March of this year after debulking surgery. I started chemo in mid May with the familiar Carboplatin/Taxol combination, but on the first session I had

Post-ablation catch-up
Hi I thought it might be helpful to update my post-ablation experience. Two weeks after ablation at Barts (on June 30) my AF returned (120 bpm). My GP doubled my dose of Sotalol to 160 mg a day. Later my EP tripled it to 240 mg. My cardiac nurse added a small dose of Digoxin. All this has had little

Has anyone had bowel issues on taxol
Hi everyone, I am on weekly taxol and avastin, but having a lot of pain in lower abdomen two days afterwards. I think it is diverticulitis. I am also getting a wisdom tooth flare up after every infusion. I've had to miss lots of weeks because of infections etc. Am worried they will stop the treatment

Got my chemo plan
Busy but good week. Had my port fitted on Wednesday and all good. Itches a bit but not much bruising and no stitches. All done with lasers but the smell of roasting flesh was a little disturbing. Had an afternoon with the cancer nurse on Thursday and was given my plan and then a tour of the chemo
