I am a 33 year old woman with 3 children ages 5, 4 and 2 years old. I have had trouble with cysts since I was 20, I had endremetreyosis (spelling?) and went through surgery to have it removed when I was 4 months pregnant with my first child. I had a major surgery for cysts removal after each child, and then cancer as well after the birth of my 3rd.
My cancer was diagnosed on the lung the day before Christmas, 2005. I first was diagnosed after having a cyst removed from an overary in October of 2004. They found a small amount of clear cell cancer in the middle of the cyst. I had a complete hysterctomy, and 9 rounds of chemo.
since it's return on my right lung, I was giving jemjar (spelling ?) for one round, having to quit the lat one as I devloped a sinus infection and a bit of phnomnia. The chemo we discovered had not shrank it, but it also had not grown. I went for several weeks without chemo, when I became very sick with High calcium, and the beginning of renal failure. I got back on track and they began a serious of 3 chemo treatments of Topotecan, I have had 2, I had to skep a week as my blood platelets became to low. At this time I do not know if it is having any effect on the cancer.
I there anything else, or a better treatment I might be able to try?? I don't want to die and leave my babies behind.
