I need to ask. Is it the treatments we go through to live causing more deaths then the cancer itself
Most times when I hear people passing on from cancer, it's actually the treatment, chemo, radiation, complications from surgeries that caused their death before the actual cancer. I'm going for my first follow up check with my oncolagest on Tuesday. I've been putting it off because I don't want to keep checking for cancer.…

Official Chemosabe
First chemo session under my belt. It was a long day. Got there at 10:30, left at 5:15. Everything went well, no allergic reaction to the carbo or taxol, which they infused at a slow rate. Started and finished my book (HeLa). I felt pretty normal last night so I walked around the block, had some soup and a popsicle and…
Rough Day
Ladies, I had a bit of a rough day today and need some of your positive juices. I had an ultrasound on Wednesday and the results show mets have taken residence in my liver. I'm about 2 months short of 4 years since DX [10/2011], and today was chemo #35. I know I've got a lot to be thankful for. At chemo, I met a lovely…
EditGirl
Good Luck tomorrow. I know you will do GREAT! I'll be thinking about you. For me, chemo #2 out of the way! 16 more to go. This one was easier on me emotionally. And, pushing on the port hurt less. Which is still not healed all the way. Funny Story - The Chemo Nurse was trying to talk to this lady about getting a port. She…
Butter/Ghee
Hola, Has anyone here use Ghee for cooking? I want to add some oil to my diet, since last year my cholesterol was too low.
Members That Posted and Went?
I was reading a very interesting thread, you've probably guessed I'm new here, from lindaprocopio It referred to a CA125 of 154, after remission, but her profile says she last posted in 2011 and this thread was from 2009, I am really interested by her story as there were some similarities to mine, can anyone throw some…
Feeling alone
I will try to make this as short as possible. I have had abnormal paps since I was 18. I am now 35. I have had leeps and conizations for dysplasia in the past. I have had severe tail bone, lower back right ovary groin and leg pain. I have had bleeding when I have sex with my husband, periods have been so odd and I usually…
Have you ever heard of research cells called HeLa?
I am an avid reader of just about anything- novels, classics, biographies, research papers on uterine CA, etc. , but I have never read anything as bizarre, unbelievable, historic or as profoundly relevant as the true story of a woman called Henrietta Lacks. This woman has done more for the treatment of cancer, as well as…
Port - Post Surgery Pain
Hi All, Got my port in yesterday. I wasn't expecting pain afterwards. Silly me! I'm using ice packs as suggested and taking Advil. My pain is in strange places... like behind my shoulder blade and behind my bicep muscle. In addition to the actual port site. Did any of you experience this? Also, I get my first chemo this…
Treatment Plan Radiation and Chemo Concurrently, Stage 1A, Grade 2
Hi All, Been a few weeks since I posted. My oncologist wants to do radiation and chemo at the same time. Is this normal? I worry my constitution won't hold up for both simultaneously. Let me know how you did it please? Was it as the same time or one at a time. What works best. I believe perhaps a lymph node may be affected…

An expected bump in the road
Well, my week went all to hell. Late Tuesday night I woke up with horrible pains in my abdomen. At first I thought it was just a gas pain, though the worst have them have subsided in the past week. Within 10 minutes, I knew it was something worse. So, off to the ER. An ultrasound and a CT scan showed the sphincter between…

Our furry family members are so affected by our journeys - Editgirl this is for you! Plus some thing
It has been a hard week or so for me. My last treatment went fine but post treatment my counts all took a dive. I can't even describe to anyone adequately what my energy level was (or wasn't). Just total exhaustion. Other signs of a platelet issue included bleeding gums and crusty blood in my nose in the am, diaharea, zero…

My doctor said I can have my port remove at my first three month check up..strange?
I had my first follow up with my oncolgest today. The office was packed and he was running 2 1/2 hours late. When it was my turn to get examined, he mention to the nurse I can be set up to have my port removed. Then he said, no wait, let's get her pet scan first. He didn't order blood work, which was strange to me. Is that…
On the way to chemo town...
So I met with my medical oncologist yesterday who will be handling the chemotherapy. 6 rounds of carbo/taxol 3 weeks apart. Interesting about your 18 week plan, TeddyandBears. I have to say that a smaller dose sounds appealing to me, and I may bring this up to my doctor. I am a later stage, though, and I wonder if that…
Thinking about you TeddyandBears
Hi, Cindi, i have been thinking about you and hoping that you got good results from your pathology report. I remember that you said you would get the results yesterday. Sending you positive vibes and wishing you the best outcome. Warm Wishes, Cathy

Cranky, mad and Angry - Has anyone had this before
Every since my diagnosis of recurrence I have been extremely irritable, cranky and angry. Is this normal? BTW, the CT scan showed two 1.2 and 2.2 cm masses that I supposed need to be removed. Not sure if it is going to only be radiation. Help for the crankies please.
Intraperitoneal Chemo
Since Dx and surgery 11/2011 (stage IVb) I have tried numerous chemo combinations. After 3 rounds of taxol-carboplatin (6 sessions each) between 12/2011 and 6/2014, I was determined to be platinum resistant. My CA 125 ran between 30 and 36 last summer. Last December my CA 125 was 74, and I started on doxil. After 3…
Gc maf, have you heard anything about it
I read in Internet, sounds good, but is it true? https://gcmaf.se/ As for many other "cures" we don't know what to believe. I would try marihuana for sure, if not for the cancer for my headache. Today for first time I tried yoga for beginners from you tube and I liked it. Just an update. Surgery in May, after 3 chemo…
