Stage 4 Ovc
I was told 6 treatments, but it wasn't set in stone, of course. I will have my 6th one next month, but now my doctor at Carti is referring me to MD Anderson, which has started all kinds of physical and mental thoughts in my mind. Just thought I would reach out to others in my situation...well, my daughter suggested it.
Chemo Rash
I’m 8 days after my first chemo treatment and this morning I woke to a terrible rash covering my entire body. I thought I had mentally prepared myself for most things that could happen, but I wasn’t prepared for this. I’m thankful so far it’s not on my face.

Concerned for my daughter. Ovarian cysts/cancer?
Hello, I’m writing out of concern for my daughter (22yrs). I apologize if this ends up being long. Mydaughter has always suffered from “difficult” periods. I wouldn’t call them out of the ordinary but she was always dealing with heavier flows and a lot of bad cramps right before starting and during the first couple days.…
Constipation
Starting first chemo next week. So in preparation trying to get all possible supplies so I can avoid stores as much as possible. Wondering about the constipation side effect and what everyone's trick was. I never really had an issue before so not alot of experience for what works.
Rising CA-125 No Reason Given
Hello and thank you for reading. My CT and PET show NED but my CA-125 is now 530. It was 81 post surgery in October and started going up in January.
