I am finsihed with my chemo treatments as of this month will have a pet scan in Sept. in the mean time my stomach is very swollen Dr. dosn't know why. Says it's not water. I worry about this!

Has any one had a problem with a swollen stomach with ovarion cancer?

Hi c25862, glad you are following me. I welcome you and will put you on my prayer list. I was initially diagnosed in July 2009 with stage IIIC and given 2 years to live; today I am alive and healthy; god works his miracles girl; never give up.

Good luck with this round of chemo.

Pleased to meet you. Have you been on chem/radiation since diagnosis? or, did you have some time off and are back on?

Hi and Welcome. I finished 6 months of chemo last April and so far C125 is normal but has risen a little. My CT scans have been ok. Glad to hear that there are other chemo treatments to have if needed. Be strong and keep up the fight.

Hello and welcome to WhatNext. I'm so glad hair loss is your biggest effect of chemo. Heck.. Scarves, wigs and cute hats are all easily available. I sat around at home then with my shinny head and hubby told me I looked beautiful. I think he was just grateful to have me sitting there!... I was DX with Stage IV Ovarian Cancer.... Had surgery and was upgraded to Stage IIIC... (actually given six months to live)... That was 7 years ago.... My Gynecologic Oncologist Surgeon had removed all he could see of the cancer and he got it all. We continued fighting... heck at 38... you can move mountains (I was 62). I did almost two years of chemo in order to be sure every little cancer cell was dead.... I'm here.. I'm well and I seen grand children married, held great grandchildren in my arms.... danced with hubby on the beach of Cape Cod.... I'm here... take my hand and I'll help you along the way... I'll be the blonde with the smile cheering you on!
