Close Ovarian Cancer
With no apparent symptoms, I was diagnosed 4th stage lung cancer after a regular annual physical exam. After several biopsies of fluid ony, lund cancer was still my diagnosis. After debulking surgery, it was determined that my diagnosis is actually ovarian cancer metatstisized to lungs and omentum. Have been treated ever since with different chemos but still have had no timeof remission. Very many complications in surgeries including pulmonary blood clot which almost took my life.
Treatments
- Taxol Somewhat Helpful
- 1st combo chemo treatments were quite toxic. Lost hair within 3 weeks and felt like a dead woman about 3 days after each treatment. Nauseau and vomiting were minimal.
- Adriamycin Not Working
- Did not work for me---CA125 steadily climbed. Bad skin reactions.
- Gemcitabine Working / Worked
- 1 round =(once a week--Three weeks on--one week off) Side effects minimal. Flu-like for a very short perioed of time. Have had 4 full rounds. CA125 down to 27.
