I was dx in January with Stage IC OVCA and had 6 rounds of carbo/taxol ending June 1st. I started bleeding a bit around 6 weeks after my surgery.

Chemosensitivity Testing
There are few more imprecise and drastic measures than chemotherapy as a treatment for cancer. The process involves poisoning a patient's system with toxic chemicals in an effort to kill malignant cancer cells. As one who has personnally seen a loved one suffer, I can attest to its destructive and debilitating side…
Chemo & nutrition?
Hi everyone, I'm again posting on behalf of my friend who was diagnosed with ovca in July. She had her debulking surgery in August, and will begin chemo in Sept.
