Subject: Stage 4 ovarian cancer - I would like advice - help - whatever
Date: 09/21/2003
I was diagnosed last Jan with stage 4 ovarian cancer that had spread to the lungs. They removed 6 liters of fluid from abdomen & lungs. I was on taxol & carboplatin till May 22. I have neuropathy in hand and both feet. Sciatic nerve damage & heart problems. I had a echo done and saw the cardiologist. I have leaky valves, fluid around the heart. I will have another echo done in a couple weeks to compare. I had a CT scan done at my check-up last week and they found nodules back on my lungs that I had had before and they supposedly went away and are now back. My thought is that they never went away to begin with but now they want me to do chemo again. Suggest Doxil or Gemzar. I am seriously thinking of an alternative medicine. Went to a Greek treatment seminar yesterday and it sounds pretty good. Of course, my gyn. onc. does not give me much of a survival rating. I am only 43 so feel I should have lots of years left. Is there anyone who is in my same boat or similar that would like to respond to this or know of someone that might be able to give me any advice?
