Life during chemo?
Having my first chemotherapy sessions on Monday and Tuesday. I know everyone is different but how mobile were you all when you were having your treatments. Were you able to work, drive, get out socially? I have this vision of laying around the house all day exhausted but I hope I have the wrong idea!

Do you know any chemotherapy regimens for recurrence?

Since June last year, my CA-125 has climbed from 8 to 140. My recent CT scans found enlarged lymph nodes and a lesion (2cm x 2cm) in the small bowel mesentery. My oncology…
