I had my debulking staging surgery on the 19th of April, have had two treatments, first was taxol/carboplatin, second was taxotere/carbo. I am still experiencing a watery orange/pink vaginal discharge. Anyone else have this? I have searched the topic in several ovcn web sights with no results. Thanks ladies, love having resources such that you share.

    I had a pinkish
    discharge after my debulking surgery, which I was told was normal. I think they (oncologists) said it should last for about 6-8 weeks, although 18 months on from surgery I can't remember exactly. Perhaps you should mention it to your doctor if you are still worried.

    Ascites drainage
    It sounds like ascites draining from your pelvis through your vagina. Talk to your doctor about this as it may be nothing to worry about or you may have a fistula that needs attention. I had the drainage but it went away after a couple of rounds of chemo.

    Please do let us know the outcome if you don't mind sharing with us.
