was subsequently diagnosed with recurrent ovarian cancer after having PETSCAN and blood tests etc, just shy of 8 yrs from my 1st surgery. There were 3 nodes packed with OC cells and if I had waited till I had pain, two of them would have attached themselves onto the bowel. One was on the pelvis. Surgery was back on 8th February which has healed nicely. I took the iniative to investigate getting a port in as having blood tests, getting a canula in me, took just so long.
Never having a port, or knowing much about them, I didn't expect to be as sore or tender as I have been. I reckon it's worse than what the main surgery was. I really am trying to not do much with the arm lifting heavy things etc etc. Hubby has been great again doing the housework.
I'll be on carbo/caelyx and I wonder if anyone has been on that combination and would like to discuss about their experience with it pls? I start this Thursday 10th March.
Thank. Joan.
