Anyone do 8 instead of 6 Taxotere/Carbo?
Hello everyone. I finished 6 treatments. CA-125 within normal range now. This treatment has been for a recurrence. The doctors are strongly considering giving me an additional 2 treatments. However, they warn that although you may have done great with the 6, the 7th or 8th treatment can be extremely dangerous. I think I've…

It was clamped off in a surgery I had 6 1/2 years ago when I had a total hysterectomy. The doctor is puzzled as to why it has occurred at this point in time, as it is more likely to occur…

Ovarian Tumor
Thank you for reading my message. I was told on Thursday that I have a 12.3 x 9.9 cm tumor/cyst/who knows on my left ovary which was diagnosed by ultrasound. It was originally discovered because it blocked my Dr. from doing a routine pap smear. I am 49 and am ashamed to say I had not been to a Dr. since 1998. CA-125 was…
