I too welcome you, but wish you weren't here because I wish none of us had to be here. But since you are, we welcome you with open arms. I used to live in Scottsdale. I do believe Arizona is one of the most beautiful states. I was diagnosed in November 2008 with 3C ovarian cancer. Had 7 months of remission and am back on Carboplatin and Taxol for 6 months.0 -

Well my story startes like this, about sept of 2009 I started experiencing alot of gas in my stomach. Doctor said i needed a bowel cleanse, it did not help. He then thought it was acid reflux, the irritable bowel.
I had made friends with a wonderful doctor 25 years ago who worked at urgent care at phoenix, I was getting so sick I told my husband, lets go see Dr. Hammie. We went he ordered a cat scan , we went out to eat while he got the results, by the time we got back he had already found us an onocologist at Phoenix to go to. By this time it was november, a week later nov 16 I had surgery.
Just before i had surgery they drained 5 and a half liters of fluid from my stomach
I was in the hispital a week and went home. I do not tolerate pain pills at all, so have just suffered with the pain once i was taken off the morphine .I was home 2 days and was put back in hospital for two days.
Two weeks after my surgery went to see dr and thought things were going ok, hte next day i get a call from him saying to go immediately and get a cat scan, this time i was allowed to go to one at mesa. They sent me to the hospital immediately, ii asked what was wrong, they said they could not say but my doctor was on the phone, i was told they needed to drain my lung and stomach and to go to hospital. The next morning this nurse comes in and says we are ready to give you heprin for the blood clot in your lung. I told him, you are not giving me anything until you talk to my doctor, I was told I was her for fluid removal. He said well this paper work says you have a blood clot. I immediately got on the phone to prayer warriors and asked for healing prayers. My docotr came in later and said it was a mix up, that they were draining the lung and stomach. I do believe God healed the blood clot, as paper work does not lie.
It has been very rough for me to get the chemo, I have been in bed so long trying to recover from the surgery and chemo that my muscles hurt to do much of anything. I am making myself do dishes etc.
I have had pain in my stomach so bad
My cancer was stage 3 and had gone into the omentium, he took everything out that he tought needed to be cut, and said he thought the chemo would take care of the omentium.
I have had almost a constant bladder infection, the ovary was attached to the urethea so they put a stint in, I do not know if this is what is causing the infection or the chemo.
Is anyone else having problems with stomach and back pain and chest pain from the chemo i am taking Carboplatin and Taxol
Oh another miracle that no one may think is much but is was alot to me, My nurse was going to be on vacation the week i took my last chemo, I thought to myself, I wish i could cancil and go next week. The next day the office called and said my platelets had dropped and i could not get anymore chemo until they came up this was on a tuesday, I went two days later on thursday to get blood checked again. Praise the Lord, prayer came through again, God broguth them up and I got chem four days later. This showed me that my Heavenly Father cares about the desires of my heart and I didn't even have to ask, he knows are thoughts before we even speak them. The reason I wanted my regular nurse is because I had been having problems with the benadryl and steriods they give you with the chemo, this nurse cut them back half and it was more tolerable.
Right now I am trusting God to heal me
I get chemo agaiin on Monday this will be my 4th, then I will have 2 more to go.
My white count has been down so I do not allow any visitors, it is hard to not be with my family, I miss my grandkids so much and my daughter.
Thank God I have my husband and he is so wonderful
Am counting the weeks now till chemo will be done and I can start healing. Just start to feel a little better and I get chemo again and it knocks me down.
Thanks for being my friends and listening
If you need a prayer partner I am here for you
