STJohnson

STJohnson,how are you doing.By now you must have two more treatments in the rear view mirror.The finish line is coming,hang in there.Good wishes sent your way.

Hi there! I have a similar diagnosis to yours and I'm just finishing up my second round of carboplatin/taxol on the same schedule as you. Just learned that since I was stage IV my oncologist wants to put me on 12 rounds of taxol only every three weeks now... And I thought I was done.

As Lynne said, keep your medical team updated on your side effects - there are so many things they can do to help you through this. And they want you to be as comfortable as possible. And we are all here for any questions you may have or even just to share worries and joys. We understand.

Sending lots of good energy your way!

The Carboplatin and Cisplatin were hard on me also.Five weeks to go before hopefully you are finished so it is just around the corner.How have your 125's been?Do you have a strong support system? Keep your medical team informed of your side effects because of the cumulative effects.Needed shots for low WBC before final chemo.It was delayed twice.This journey is not easy for sure, you take care and keep me informed.Hugs.

Hi I hope you find the site helpful.

STJohnson,good to hear from you. I am now two months post chemo and still fatigued,lots of naps. Trying to resume my life.Sorry you are having to undergo chemo again.What do they have you on? Be sure you take your anti nausea meds. before you actually feel nauseated.I would take them when I had no appetite and they enabled me to eat .I took Zofran and Compazine. Understand the depression,I am still taking my anti depressant. Make sure you keep the medical team informed about your side effects.Better days are ahead.Take care,talk anytime.Know you are not alone, you have a whole community who cares about you.

Welcome to our WHAT NEXT Family. I'm sure glad you found us. I was originally DX with Stage IV Ovarian Cancer.... Then after my debulking surgery,, upgraded to IIIC like you. I followed my Gynecologic Oncologist Surgeon's advise on everything.... Here I am eight years later ... Cancer Free. I was 62 at diagnosis. I put my hand in God's and asked Him to lead me. He led me from there to here and neither one of us has let go. In these years I've gained three more grandchildren, two grand children-in-laws, and two beautiful GREAT grandchildren... I had a smashingly fun 70th BD party. Keep your eyes on being well, see yourself well. Make plans for then... See it, believe it, Achieve it.
