Muscle pain after radiation
I finished 30 radiation treatments for ovarian cancer in December. A few weeks later, I developed pain deep in my buttocks. Recently learned it is probably piriformis muscle. Have had PT for past two weeks and pain persists - can't walk w/out it. Noticed on another forum that this could be a side effect of pelvic…
One year ago today...
One year ago today, I was officially diagnosed with cancer. I had gone in for a routine appointment, and they ordered an x-ray. On the x-ray they found fluid on my lungs. I was sent to the ER to have the fluid drained. They thought I had pneumonia. I was given a CT Scan, and the radiologist noticed a small spot near my…

Talcum powder causes ovarian cancer?

Update...
I just had my fourth infusion (about a week ago). My CA-125 is still not lowering, though my symptoms are lessening. I still have fatigue-- though I am in chemotherapy, so it doesn't really surprise me, and the aches are the weirdest things. My aches/pain seems to move to different parts of my body each round. At first, I…
Muscle and joint pain after chemo
i am 3 weeks post chemo. I had 18 chemo cocktails, six rounds - carboplatin and taxol and then 2 weeks of just taxol, and then start all over again. I experienced terrible neuropath, it was so painful I thought my fingers and toes would fall off. The last month knocked me for a loop. I had problems with low white blood…
Carbo Taxol 3 week cycle experience?
Hey folks, Most of the carbo-taxol regimens I've read about appear to start with carbo-taxol, then weekly taxol. I'm getting carbo-taxol in a single large dose then will get three weeks rest. And I'll do this 4 times. Have any of you have the latter regimen? What were your side effects like and how long did it last? I just…
I have some good news :)
I went for my fourth appointment. The doctor is going to go ahead and give me the fourth Doxil treatment. He thinks that if my CA-125 doesn't go down that it's likely from scar tissue or any number of things. He said that if my cancer was progressing, I would be a whole lot sicker, instead of getting better. He is going to…
