    WELCOME!
    Would rather have met you some other way. But if this must be, then this is the place to meet! Lots of wonderful ladies here, loaded with info, love, and support.

    What stage are you? Did they only remove the ovary? I would imagine you are on carbo/taxol? Please let us know how you're doing. And again, welcome to the Board!

    My first round of chemo was
    My first round of chemo was not working and that was a combination of taxol/carbo. I just had my 4th round on tuesday and I'm feeling very sick. I have zero energy to do anything and today I found out I may need more than 6 rounds. When does it end? I have adhesions forming where the ovary was taking out so I will be needing surgery for that as well soon. My CA-125 started out at 2000 and is down to 800 now but that is still not ideal doctor says for having had 4 rounds. Any advice would be great. Nice to meet you all just sad it had to be this way.
