Hi,
wishing you a serene and healthy 2010
Love, from valentine
Hi I am 23 and had chemo for ov ca. I finished chemo 8months ago. I couldnt bear the hot flushes and sweating so as soon as I finished the treatment they put me on the pill (Yasmin) which totally stops the hot flushes and is supposed to help prevent ovarian cancer.
One doctor wanted me to come off the pill a month or 2 ago to see if my periods had returned - but as soon as I was off it for a week the hot flushes returned- so mine is not back to normal yet- I think I was told somewhere between 6months and 1year. Also look up ovacome.org.uk its a support group for people with ovarain cancer. They have great information up and you can email them if you have anymore questions.
hi! am 34 years old, have had my left ovary taken out feb 2009, diagnosed as germ cell tumour..my afp ( cancer marker ) for this type of cancer before the surgery was 8000 and gradually went down to normal but had the remission, my afp creeped up again sept 2009. had 3 cylcles of of BEP chemo... I just finished my chemo 3 weeks ago..my afp is now on normal range but during chemo my marker goes up and down... hoping for everything to get cleared...Hanging and just being positive is all I can do at the moment
Hi, my chemo is taxol and carboplatin. It will be 6 cycles, one every 3 weeks. Just waiting for my hair to fall out now (apparently it should happen in about a week, they told me!).
Best wishes and probably speak again soon.
Valentine
