Fluid around lungs
When my mom was diagnosed with OC, it was found because of fluid building up around her lungs. She had chest tubes put in and has had to have them drained every day, then every two days, now every three days. Fluid slowed down a little but not very significant. Doctor told us that after the first infusion of chemo she…

Mom had her first treatment
She got Taxol/Carbo on Thursday. We spent 2 1/2 hours in the emergency room today because her ascites has gotten so bad that she could not breath. They drained about 5000 ml out of her today. She's at least breathing better. Am so very worried about her. She's 78, with diabetes and is in Renal Failure. She breezed through…

Three down....one to go
Surgeries, that is. Got the new port placed this AM. I woke up before he had completely finsihed up the procedure! He said, "Well....I guess you can skip recovery." I'm good until after the first of the year (I hope). Carlene

I need reassurance
I had my last chemo on 9/16. My oncologist cancelled what would have been the last one on 9/22 because I couldn't tolerate any more. I had ended up in the hospital twice during the chemo. I have appointments scheduled for 11/02 and 11/03 with the oncologist and the oncologist surgeon. I have not even found out what my…

clinical trial
Well, I found out today that I will be starting a clinical trial. It is a phase II trial of an oral medication called ENMD-2076. The drug works in a similar way as Avastin does, by cutting off the blood supply to the tumor. My latest CT scan on 9/30 showed stability with possible slight advancement. No obvious advancement…

Second surgery anyone?
Hi ladies, Mom had her initial surgery Sept 3rd and it was unsuccessful due to the location of the tumor. It was pretty well contained but it was too close to the blood supply to tell where the tumor started and the blood line ended. Today Mom had her fifth round of chemo. After four rounds her CA-125 number is 4,056 which…

Need answers for my sister
Hi ladies, I'm not part of this group I actually have IDC stage IV and post on those sites. However my older sister just had a hysterectomy and was told that she is pre-cancerous. I always thought that you have cancer or you don't. Right now her surgeon is recommending the "We'll check you again in 5 years approach." That…

ice during Doxil
Hi Ladies, I am in a panic about my upcoming carbo-doxil combo. I was told that I did not need ice packs, yet I see many patients do use them. Any info.? I also saw that Doxil may give you incorrect high CA125 numbers? GREAT! I also read the side effects are worse when they add another chemo. GREAT, again! I'm sure looking…

I'm ready to make a donation to....
24 hour monitoring of CSN. 'Seems they are gone for the week-end. How can all these posts continue to remain? I am SO angry. Some of the ones she pulled are some who are no longer with us. It pulls at my heartstrings to see their names.... Are we going to have to see this until Monday??? CSN, get it together! Thanks, Froggy

I see Doris has been doing her dirty work again overnight.I hope they remove this nasty piece of work quickly.

Just sayin', Doris....
I would pay 100 times the going rate for drugs before I would buy them from someone who solicits on a Cancer network site. I'm guessing most of the people on CSN feel the same, so I doubt you will be getting much business from anyone here. I only hope you get to read your PMs before the admins kill your CSN account. You…

Hello my fellow tealers I have just recieved my results from my CT scan and my CA 125. Good news first, my CT scan shows that "the generalised peritoneal disease are essentially stable" All major organs are unremarkable, no bone lesion and no ascites or plueral fluid.

I am feeling much better today
First of all I just want to say a very BIG thank-you to all of my "teal ladies" (that's what I call you when I tell my friends at home about the marvelous support I get from these boards) You don't know how your responses has helped me these last few days. You are all such kind and caring people and I so wish I lived in…

CA125 rising slowly....
Well, I guess I knew it. I always try to be positive but....that little bit of fear comes sneaking in. Had my doctor office visit today and the CA125 was up a little more. Now it is out of the normal range. Last month it had risen 4 points.. now it has risen 3 more points. I am at 37.4. I have been on the Metformin for a…

Recruiting for CSN
I have invited a young woman who recently posted a message on my local support site. Her mom has OC, late stage. I know there are other daughters here who can help Ashlee help her mom. This is what she wrote: I need some help or support or both! My mom was diagnosed last Feb w/ stage iv ovarian cancer. She has had great…

On the mend
Seeing the general surgeon on Wed. He will check the site where my old port was, take out the stitches, and then we will talk about putting in a new one. Hopefully he can do it next week. The hand is better. Very small incision and only 5 stitches to close it. It is bliss to be free of most of the pain. Dental appointment…

hospital federal funding
I just spoke with a friend who was telling me if a hospital is federally funded that will influence their diagnosis and treatments. She bashed the hospital I am being treated at. She says she knows people who went there and were told they were terminal only to go for a second opinion and told they were not. She said in one…

Worth a second opinion?
I am a cervical cancer survivor (26 months post treatment for IVA) and am wondering...is it time for a 2nd opinion? I recently had a pelvic MRI due to new abd. developments, which I had to request a transcript as my docs never contact me with results. The report reads..."there appears to be a fibroid in the posterior body…

She wants me to do 6 rounds of chemo even though the cancer was contained in the cyst endometrioma and has not spread to my abdomen lymph…
