Jan Q no luck with email
so I'll try here to answer- Are you able to get a PET scan? Hi Jan, This is the only way I know of to get the details on location, how much it may have grown, etc. CT scan doesn't always tell the whole story. To answer the question of pain, I have it back in 3 places, the abdomen is barely tender, but the liver causes pain…
Taxotere
I posted a message here a while back about a carboplatin sensitivity reaction. My medical oncologist switched my chemo to taxotere and that seemed to go well for the first treatment anyway. I won't have my second until early July. This was "cleanup" and consolidation chemo after a second occurence of Ovarian. I have…
Doxil as therapy for third recurrance
Has anyone had any experience with this chemo? I came looking for a lift today as I've been dragging through this week after therapy. I found it in all of your stories and thank you from my heart for sharing here. I am fighting a third recurrance of stage IIIc ovarian cancer. I cannot believe how insidious this disease is.…
I am at 25

The Avastin/Cytoxan combination is definitely doing something. I will continue getting this for another 4 months and then get a CT Scan. Who would have thought after having the talk…
Recurrent Ovarian Cancer
Oops, I meant to write July 2005 as to when I was first diagnosed. Haven't slept much the last few days. Thanks!
Recurrent Ovarian Cancer
Hello Everyone. I was wondering if anyone has experienced a recurrence 6 months following first line therapy. I was diagnosed in July 2006 at age 44 with Stage 3C ovarian cancer. My CA-125 was over 2,000. After a bowel resection and the debulking surgery, my CA-125 went down to 492. After one treatment of carboplatin and…
Antibiotics while on Taxotere
Hi everyone! I went for my lab work today, just got home, and got a telephone call from my doctor's nurse. She said my white count was pretty bad, and they don't want me coming down with anything, so she had just called in an antibiotic for me to take for five days. I'm suppose to have my third Taxotere/Carbo chemo next…

Has anyone heard from TealRibbon???
Carboplatin Hypersensitivity
I am being retreated for a reoccurence of Ovarian Cancer with Carboplatin single agent. I have previously had 8 carbo treatments for the first occurence( with taxol and Topotecan) and six treatments (carbo/taxol) for reoccurence after 2.5 years. My Dr. decided to do 6 treatments of Carbo alone after surgery and chemo for…
