ColetteChem

Hello again. I see you have chosen to follow me. Thanks! Full disclosure, I can me just a bit sarcastic. Still supportive, just have a dry sense of humor. Please let me know if there is any way I can be of assistance. Hang in there. I was diagnosed w/stage IV b endometrial cancer in Aug 2012, and I am currently cancer free. Hope you get to that state, too!

Hi and welcome. My family found ths site for me in 2013 when I was diagnosed with IIIC Serous Ovarian cancer at the age of 66. Such a wirlwind when we are diagnosed. I was still trying to cope and deal with the "oh no " moment when I entered chemo, then the surgery, and more chemo. Know well the fatigue that plagues you during treatment, luckily the anti nausea meds they gave me worked well and that was really not an issue for me. Did have some bone pain and slight neuropathy along with constipation and low WBC count and of course the hair loss. Although difficult, trestments are doable, just be kind to yourself. My last chemo was March 4th 2014 and I have been in remission. Fatigue has lessened, hair has grown back and I am adjusting to my new normal . There is life after chemo. Take it one day at a time. Wishing you better days, talk anytime.

Hi ColetteChem, yes I had the IP therapy. I know the chemo days are long with the IP. Be sure and move around while having the treatment, I not only moved from side to side but got up on my knees and lowered my head to the bed, it is a Yoga pose, I wanted as much of the med.to coat my insides as possible. I hope you have some strong support, none of this is easy, physically or emotionally but you will get through this and find strength you did not know you had.

Hi ColetteChem and welcome. Glad to have you here but no one should have to deal with cancer. My cancer is similar to yours, I was stage IV and I have been in remission for over a year now.

The journey had some really rough spots but that's behind me now. The group here has been a comfort to me as I can share openly with others who truly understand my circumstances and fears.

I hope you will also find this site to be helpful -- the awesome people here at WhatNext.com are always around if you have questions, want info on how we handled things or if you just need to vent. Venting can be cathartic!
