Can someone help me

pat1070

I was diagnosed in Feb,2010 with stage 3 ovarian cancer. I had surgery which was not successful, they couldn't remove the tumor. I had 6 carbotaxoil treatments after the side effects were over I felt wonderful. Last month I started feeling a little nauseous & not wonderful. I went to my primary Dr & had CA125 test which was up 20 points. I had a cat scan which had not changed since I felt wonderful. Now 2 weeks later I am more nauseous & have constant indigestion. I really don't know what to do ? If I tell my daughter ( who is a nurse) she alerts the whole family & I don't want all this attention.I live alone my husband died 5 years ago. Could these symptoms be related to the cancer coming back? It is only 4 months since my last treatment. I just don't what to do next. Could someone give me some suggestions.

oncologist
Have you spoken to your oncologist? The symptoms could be anything, including what we dread the most. Best to speak with your oncologist.
Good Luck!

Agree with Nancy
Pat, I agree with Nancy. Please call your onc. It might have nothing to do with cancer. Or it might be some delayed effects of the chemo. Whatever, you need to call and don't delay. Praying for you.

tell your daughter
As a caregiver daughter, I really think you should share this with your best girl. My mother had similar symptoms a year ago, and removing her gall bladder laparscopically fixed it. Until you get medical help, drink nutritious things and don't try to eat too much, just small meals. But please don't try to figure out everything alone. Being an ovarian cancer patient is a complicated job!
