My first recurrence was about 2 1/2 years after being diagnosed. My second, about 1 1/2 years later. Now, seven months (finished my treatment in August). First treatment was taxol and cisplatin (a few days after surgery). Second treatment was taxetere and carboplatin for four treatments and then carboplatin only for four more rounds (I was too sick from treatment to treatment to continue both, but didn't know I had hypothyroidism, too). My last treatment was carboplatin only which ended this past August. I have been very sick during treatments, but bounce back well when it ends and have had a good quality of life.
