I was dx with fallopian Tube Cancer April 29, 2005 after requesting CA125 blood test. I was told I didn't need it as I had a healthy exam.
It came back highly elevated. I was sent by my GYN 5 hr north to an Oncologist GYN. On May 11, 2005, I had a radical hysterectomy. Everything that could be removed was, including 2 lymph nodes. For one of the letter I read, the Oncologist GYN said that 40 out of a hundred make it past 5 years.
I am on Taxol and Paraplatin. I have 6 treatments, 3 weeks apart. I have had two treatments so far.
Two weeks after my first treatment I developed
a very painful pins and needles in my hands. It felt like a hundred bee stings. It lasted about 45 min before it calmed down. I was told
it was neuropathy. Since then I am experiencing it all over my body continually.
At times it will also attack a certain part of my body and be very intense for a period of time, sometimes several hours.
I am going in for my 3rd chemo next Thursday, July 21st and am very concerned as this does not sound like neuropathy to me. Since my first attack I seldom have it in my feet and hand other then an occasional pricks. I'm wondering if I am allergic to one of the chemo’s.
Has any one else experience this?
