What does this mean?
I am a 50 year old woman and premenapause. I recently found out I have a couple of cysts on my ovaries one being simple and one complex.

carbo/taxol
I get taxol weekly and cabo/taxol every 3 weeks. I was really nervous before I started this treatment up, this is my second round of chemo, first time was more extensive.

Take care.

My other…
New to the board
Hi! I am new to this board but I have been monitoring this board for some time and have really found it to be helpful. I have made previous attempts to enter blogs but they all got erased or at least I think they did so if I am repeating myself, I appologize. I had been having abdominal pain and GI changes for 18 months…
Help Dealing with Nausea, Muscle Aches, Etc
