    Hello Eileen,
    Sorry for the late reply. I took a little break from the board.
    I was doing fine after hysterectomy and had IP port inserted in a seperate 2-hour-long surgery. Unfortunately both incisions popped and were not healing. So now I am going every 2 days to have them packed.
    Because of the open wound my IP port was declared unusable and now I am continuing chemo through IV.
    I was having dreaded menopausal effects (night sweats, dryness, etc). Now I am taking Premarin (estrogen) and Calcium with vitamin D. Too early to tell if it's working.
    My CA125 is 8. Two more chemos - and back to work in January. Can't wait. So sick of being sick.

    How are you doing? Did you get rid of neuropathy?
    My email is kalner@sympatico.ca if you want to talk directly.
