Dysgeusia (taste alteration)
Hi. Is there anyone out there suffering from taste alteration. This is not not fancying food or feeling sick or not being able to eat. This is a side effect where any food I put into my mouth doesn’t have the right taste and it is replaced by a disgusting taste as though the food is bad. I have had this

Scanxiety Series 3 Episode I (?)
Hello everyone Just had a scan ordered by oncologist because ca125 jumped 10 points in September to 45. Tbh it has edged up every month on Olaparib (I have been on it since May 2021). i am really struggling with the idea that despite being BRCA 1 the maintenance treatment probably hasn’t really worked

Latest Update to Here We Go Again
Underwent the "simple mastectomy" on Nov 1 on the right side. This is my third breast cancer surgery and sixth primary cancer overall. I was so discouraged to have cancer again and did not want the surgery, but it was the only rational option. Already have had so much radiation to the chest (lung cancer

Struggling a bit
Hi, I was diagnosed in July with 1C Mucinous OC with a few clear cells also found. It was a bit of a shock diagnosis (for consultant as well) as after bloods and MRI etc, nothing appeared sinister. The original affected ovary was only found by chance (random unrelated question to GP and no symptoms

Mucousitis or Chemo Mouth! Ugh!
Yep, got it! Sorry but I feel like 💩! Started Affinitor a little over a week ago along with Faslodex and woke up two days ago with the worst tongue and cheek (haha) pain ever. Swelling. A lesion! I feel as if little knives are cutting inside my mouth. Difficult to talk or eat. As anxious as I get I

HU wait time to take effect
Hi good folks! In your experiences, how long does one wait for the chemo (hydroxyurea) to significantly lower the platelets? 74 y/o male with ET/jac2. I started 500mg 2X/day 8 days ago. Had blood work done yesterday and down from 664 to 579. If the threshold is 430, then I have a long way to go. I
