Fatigue during maintenance chemo
Hello Ladies, I have resumed maintenance chemo(taxol every 21 days for a year) after my bowel resection. They keep telling me it's no big deal, BUT I am totally exhausted. I did get a call last week after my labs, saying my iron count was 11. This resulted in a $600.00 bag of iron infusion! LOL I have read that sometimes…
I guess I have my appetite back
Tonight I ate TEN hot wings. TEN! And some carrot sticks and celery, too. My husband told me if I keep this up, I won't be able to get into "those cute little pants". I told him I did not care. This time last year, maybe. But not now. On Monday I have another CA125 drawn and I get the results of my CT scan. Those are the…
Silly but...Mohawk for a Minute Question
Ok, so to help my husband through this transition from the redhead he fell in love with to the chromedome he'll love even more, I promised to have a "mohawk for a minute." (Don't ask, it involves a shaver and elmer's glue and hair spray paint). So my question is this, my chemo starts on Thursday. How long do we have to…

Surgeon Visit
I wanted to let you know what the surgeon said. The appt with colorectal doc was very eye opening. She said my colon is closing, and sounded a bit concerned that it will remain open until surgery. I am now looking at each case of diarhea as a God send, and have already said many prayers of thanks for the direct…
chemo, how long and remission?!
I was just wondering what type of chemo meds and how long did treatment last and how many are in remission now or how long did you stay in remission before a reaccurance? I had IV and IP chemo the first time and now Avastin and Pemetrexed(clinical study) this time since December. I have a slight improvement since my last…
My Mom just diagnosed
My mom was just diagnosed Tues with stage 3, maybe stage 4. We go back in on Monday to discuss it with her surgeon. All we really now was her mass was 7x6x6cm. She is really scared, but in good spirits. I am going to try to get her to become a memeber of the board, she does not like computers unless she is shopping!!! Do…

Will this come back????
I have been reading alot about ovarian cancer and it seems alot of info on the topic of the return of this nasty cancer. I finished my chemo in december of 09--6 rounds. I was told after my surgery in July of 09 that I was stage 1a/b and the cancer was all inside the tumor that was removed. They told me to do chemo as a…
The big whine
Hello My Sisters, I had my 3rd infusion of carbo/taxol on Monday. I'm having such a hard time with each round. I've been through this before almost 4 years ago and I seriously don't remember it being quite this tough to endure. I am overwhelmed and I don't understand why after all the surgeries and previous chemo why my…
New tests to undergo
I had my consult with the colon/rectal surgeon yesterday and after the exam and viewing the latest CT scans, he think probably surgery will have to be done. However, I was scheduled for a Hypaque enema x-ray and colonoscopy for April 9th and given more prescriptions for "diverticulitis" attacks just in case since I am…

Remission from Stage 3C
Hello to all of you wonderful and strong women...your posts have given me encouragement during this trying time. I was DX in March 09 at Stage 3C (I also had Stage 1 uterine cancer). I had a hysterectomy and debulking surgery (removal of spleen, omentum & 9 inches of colon) in April 09 and in September I completed 6 rounds…
PETscan shows no improvement
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. I had a PETscan in November and started on Doxil in Jan. for my first reoccurence. After 3 doses of Doxil I had another petscan. The petscan shows no improvement but little change. My surgeon and oncologist are consulting with how to proceed. Since my last pet was…

Post Chemo and Work
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has felt the same about their job or work as I do. My last chemo was in January. I work in a school system as a diagnostician. I did continue to work throughout my chemo and missed about 3-4 days a month and had been given a lighter work load. Being a diagnostician I was also able to work some…

Chemo Brain???????
Wondering if anyone is having what they call chemo brain? I have finished my chemo in december and have the achy bones which I hear is normal--but also been having this fog in my head. Sometimes I will forget simple things like phone numbers or the way to spell something. Gets very annoying!!! People have said this is…
HAPPY DAY! I am officially on a CHEMO BREAK!
I just left my gynecologic oncologist. He disagrees with my chemo-onc (who wants me to do 6 rounds of carbo-taxol again) and sees no reason why I shouldn't be on a break from chemo!! I have been on weekly taxol for my 1st recurrence for 10 weeks, and my mid-treatment-point CT/PET surprised everyone when it came out CLEAR,…
Question
God's morning to all! Another Carbo treatment and on the mend, actually the last carbo I am doing.. but that is a whole different issue. I am not sure how many deal with this, but several years back I was diagnosed with neuropathy of the colon. It was managable because I also dealt with constipation. This past year I have…

question
I was wondering if anyone has had problems with a sore mouth and bleeding gums while going through treatment? I am having this issue now and was curious if others are going through this or have had any problems in the past. I take good care of my teeth and gums!! This is annoying to me! I have a prescription of lidocaine I…
My oncologist actually said today "Well, if our goal is to still acheive a CURE for you"....(CURE???
It's wierd. From the very beginning right after my surgery, as my chemo-oncologist was encouraging me to push on with aggressive chemo and radiation, he always said "We've got one shot at curing you of this, because if it comes back we will only talk about managing your cancer as a chronic condition." This opinion that…
