Close Ovarian Cancer
Just diagnosed with stage III ovarian cancer and had surgery 12/7/2007. Chemotherapy with Cisplatin and Taxol (IP and IV) are the next step. I have lots of questions at this stage of the game, so am searching for information and support, and would like to offer the same if I can. 23-year survivor of a previous vaginal cancer caused by DES exposure; that cancer was treated by radiation therapy (external plus an implant).
Treatments
- Carboplatin Working / Worked
- On 1/07/2009 I began chemo with Cisplatin (IP / Intraperitoneal delivery) & Taxol (both IP & IV). Side effects were a little intense the first time around, so now I'm better prepared for the next round and taking care of myself in between. Had a hyper-sensitive reaction to Taxol on round 2, so now I'm on a different taxane drug called Abraxane, given via IV. So far so good. Cisplatin will still continue via IP unless I start developing some neuropathy in which case we'll switch to Carboplatin.
- Chemotherapy Working / Worked
- Radiotherapy Working / Worked
- In 1984 I had 5 wks external radiation plus an implant which cured my previous cancer.
Close Chemotherapy
I was diagnosed with Stage 4 endometrial cancer in December 2007, and had a complete hysterectomy and debulking surgery on Dec. 7, 2007. Just completed a 6-cycle course of chemotherapy which included Taxol (changed later to Abraxane due to a hypersenstitve reaction) and Cisplatin. The Cisplatin was administered through a stomach port (Intraperitoneal) My first follow-up CT scan is May 19 and I will be looking forward to a clean bill of health at that time!
Treatments
- Chemotherapy Working / Worked
- Neulasta Working / Worked
- Worked great - mild aches in my sternum and hips a few days after the shot but it definitely boosted my white cell count.
