    • Close Cervical Cancer

      Diagnosed with stage III cervical cancer in June 2007. Had chemo and radiation (internal and external). Still recovering from some physical and emotional side effects.

      Treatments

      Chemotherapy Working / Worked
      Chemo once a week for 5 weeks. Was always nauseated the day after. Once I was nauseated, meds didn't seem to help (Zofran or Compazine).
      Cisplatin Working / Worked
      Was a low dose to support my radiation, but I felt badly afterwards (for at least a day). I lost about 10# during the course of my treatment...nothing tasted good.
      Radiotherapy Working / Worked
      I think (hope) it worked...but after the brachitherapy (internal), everything stuck together...I'm still fighting it.
