Patriciaa1963

Hi Patriciaa1963. Thought I would just stop by to see how you are doing. Did you have a nice holiday with the family? I imagine you had a white Christmas also since our news was full of the winter storms up your way. Wishing you a prosperous and healthy New Year. Hope to see your postings on the site.

Stopped by to see how you are doing lady. So, how are you doing?

Back up, Lady. Disagreeing with you is far different than an attack on you. Noone wishes you ill. Everyone wishes you (and all of us) well and with regained health.

Just because folks do wish to play follow the leader with doesnt mean an attack or any ill will.

Best wishes

Hi there lady, dropped by to find out how your doing with the treatments. Hope all is going ok, and the up days outnumber the down. Sending cyber hug and positive vibes.

Hi Patriciaa, were you able to join the sisterhood? Did your doctor say you were platinum resistant? Have you started your chemo yet? How are you feeling overall?

Hi. Hang strong. I found the carbo/gem protocol easier than the carbo/taxol. Not much bone pain, etc. and my hair grew back while on it. So...good luck.

Patriciaa, do not know if I mentioned this to you in the past, but I belong to another site also, called The Sisterhood of Ovarian Cancer Survivors. This site has hundreds of ovarian cancer sisters. There will be many who can give you an insight into the Gemzar/Carbo combo. Just ask to join, then after acceptance, ask your question. All it takes to join is being a relative,caregiver,or survivor of ovarian cancer.

You're in my thoughts & prayers!

Hope your CA125 increase isn't due to anything major!

(My CA125 seems fine, but I have the typical scan anxiety until I hear good news- it was a week ago, so I should hear soon.)

Hi Patricia. Thanks for the follow. Please be advised, I can be a bit of a sarcastic expletive deleted. But I'm also a pretty good cheer leader. And I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that those levels drop back under 35 @ your recheck. Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Hi Patriciaa1963, read your update and am sorry the xxx CA 125 is rising, however, I am sure you have read that this does not neccessarily mean a recurrance, thus the wait and see. I wish I could give you a hug, I know the waiting is the worst. I see my gyn/onc on March 11th, with my blood draw at the end of next week, and the anxiety has already started. Please keep me posted teal sister on your progress and feel free to talk with me anytime.

Hi Lady, glad you are continuing to do so well. Wishing you continued good health and exams in the coming year.

He's been to my appointment and heard what they would say and some of the issues I would be having after treatment. I can talk to him but he's like oh ok. You'll be ok. It takes time. To understand them well I'm the rock and if I'm standing upright notjing is wrong. They never really ask how I'm feeling even in general. So to expect anything else I would have to be near death like when he rushed me yo the er after my 2nd Chemo trestment. I was really really near death and all they at the time was worried why I couldn't get up and eat. They had no clue. But when the drs at the er said if you would of waited ant longer it would of been diffetent.

Congrats on your anniversary- I hope I am as blessed. My one year won't be until February.

Hi Patriciaa - I saw your comment on my trip to Portland. I didn't get to see my uncles on this trip either (one's in Portland and the other is in Woodburn) so I HAVE to come back soon! I will let you know when I do and we can connect if the timing works out for you.

Hi there. I saw a comment you posted on someone's wall and just wanted to say hello to another stage IV OVCA survivor. I'm in Redmond, WA - just moved here but I'm glad to see a 'neighbor' doing so well.

thanks for the mail i am looking at surgery on the 3erd of next month i am scared to death at what they will find

Hi Patriciaa1963, thanks for sharing so much of your journey. I am about four months ahead of you on my journey. I am now 68, was diagnosed in 2013 with IIIC ovarian cancer. All of us have our bald chemo pictures,your head better shaped than mine was. Now months after chemo have thick curly hair with a mind of its own. I have been in remission now for ten months and know well the anxiety that builds before any exam or test. I hope you continue to share your journey.Ask questions and help answer others questions. I wish you continued good exams. All of us on WhatNext are here for each other.Take care,talk anytime.

Hi Patriciaa1963 and welcome to WhatNext.com. I was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer in October 2014 at age 58 and just finished maintenance chemo. I am so happy to read of your success. It makes me so happy to know that even though we were stage IV at diagnosis, we can thrive after treatment.

Congratulations and welcome! Look forward to hearing more from you in the days to come.
