started acupuncture this week!
About Me: Female, 38, Murray - KY, member since Oct 2005
Dx with Ovarian Cancer, stage IIIC on August 29, 2005.  Currently going through 1st recurrence, discovered during gallbladder surgery in April 2007.  Have had Taxol/Carboplatin, Topotecan, Gemzar, Gemzar/Navelbine, Femara, Gemzar/Taxotere, and Gemzar/Doxil.  I currently ... [More] have low grade cancer cells, so we're looking for a treatment that will work for that.  I am now on an aromatase inhibitor called Aromasin.  We're hoping it will stop the excess estrogen from feeding the cancer.  

Through this process, I also learned I have Crohn's disease.  Thankfully it is not completely active at the moment, but I am on a boatload of medication to keep it in check.  I get CT's every three months for the cancer, so my doctor is able to keep a good watch on how the Crohn's is progressing, as well.

I went to visit my local Oncologist (Dr. A) yesterday. It was rather funny, because it is obvious he finally realizes he won't be making my treatment choices anymore. He...[more]

Hey Gail! Good to see you started the acupuncture...how does it feel? My San Francisco friend had to change acupuncturists as the old one sent out a message that he was only going to use "imaginary" needles from now on! LOL! My friend said,,,where is the "puncture" if there are no actual needles>>>Hee Hee. Good to hear you are taking advantage of all your new docs are offering! Take care Teresa
