Update
Good Afternoon Friends!! This is my 5th time of not having chemo on schedule today! But I have had it 7 times now, with 7 more to go (7 cycles suppose to be twice a month). Even with the Neumega shots 3-5 times a week, my platelets do not always recover in 13 days to have chemo again. The Neulasta works great for the white…

about me and my battle
Hi, I was just diagnosed on Friday and am still in a bit of shock but I am handling things well I think. I just have a desire to talk and talk and talk about it...that is how I am handling and processing things. I went to the emergency room on August 26 with sharp right side pain. They thought it was my appendix so they…

Hi ladies, I had my surgery for double hernias on 10/20 and thankfully I am home, and feeling better every day. The surgeon did both laparoscopic and an incision to repair the defects and put everything back in place. He found some problems from past surgeries and also repaired those. I have a big mesh inside to hopefully…

Results of CT scan and treatment for ascites
Last night was the worst night of my life. The pain woke me up around 4AM and it was the nearest thing to "unbearable" I have ever experienced. I took 3 Vicodin with the span of one hour and it didn't touch it. This AM I called the Oncologist's nurse and told her I could not hold out for 5 more days - until my surgery on…

stories so different
Well I'm off the EC145/Doxil research study as my CA125 was up and the CT showed over 20% progression that research would not allow for me to continue. I was a bit bummed as had gone on vactaion for a week and feeling better and bulge on abdomen was smaller. Checked with dr and he didn't know what it was or why smaller to…

Checking in
I had my fourth dose of carbo yesterday for my recurring tumor on the colon. For the first time, I had a reaction at the end of the dose. My nose stuffed up, I turned red, ears, palms, and between my legs started itching. I called the oncology nurse over and then I had three nursed checking and hanging bags of benedryl,…

7 cycles and a hysterectomy later...
Hello, my wife was diagnosed with Stage 4 Ovarian cancer back in March and after 7 Taxol/Carbo chemo cycles plus a hysterectomy, it appears there is still work to be done. The doctors are going to discuss whether they should continue with the carb/tax treatments via a port they installed in her stomach or switch her to…

Today she woke up wit a ciatica?? back pain and she is just acting like a bit of a powerless person...Now I don't know if it has anything to do with my…

Pleas help I am in need of answers.
Good Morning: Well I have had a harrowing week. I had a CTScan done last week and my CA125 rose from 15 to 38. My scan also showed that there was a small to moderate amount of fluid (acites). I am going to have a biopsy this week on that. My question to those of you that have gone through this is how do thy test this and…

Mom's surgery postponed ..she didn't pass her stress test..
Has that ever happened to anyone else? They didn't tell her what that means, just that her heart looked like there might be a blockage, and thye want her to see a cardiologist. That's really bad news isn't it? If she can't have surgery she's in big trouble isn't she? God, this disease is so nasty. Just when you think…

Job Interview Questions
Hi Ladies. I have a question that I don't think I have seen here before. If any of you have had to switch jobs or careers, did they do background checks on you and if they did, did it include a credit report check? I am asking because quite honestly my credit is terrible. The last three years have not been kind to me.…

SPAMMED AGAIN!
As many of you, I'd been trying to post the last couple of weeks and met up with lots of problems. So, to everyone out there, just want you to know I'm reading it all and tried to respond but it didn't work. I know the CSN team was busy working on it and posting is better - obviously, because we're getting tons of SPAM…

New member-terrified
Had a hysterectomy for a cyst that per the Ultrasound and MRI did not appear cancerous and CA125 was within normal range, I think 15 so lymph nodes were not removed. Was positive for serous adenocarcenoma staged at 1C. Biopsies done had spread to a lymph node now classified stage 3c yesterday. Go in next week to have port…

Hi. Just browsing at some of your notes and got to wondering. So how long have some of you been being treated, and how many different types of chemo have you been on?

Magic Mouthwash for Mouth Sores
Since the replies aren't posting I thought I would write a new thread about the mouth sores. Magic mouthwash is amazing for mouth sores. All doctors and pharmacist know what it is so if you call your doctor's office and ask for a prescription they will know what you are talking about. It is a concoction that they will mix…

not so good CT report
Well I thought I was doing good with the clinical trial and Doxil. Sides weren't too bad, feeling good, food tastes good, could be almost normal. Went on our long awaited/postponed family vacation last month and was great. Then had my 6 week CA 125 and CT scan last Mon. Finaly got the reports back today-the CA was up and…
