About Me: Female, 43, Naples - FL, member since Feb 2008

I take daily doses of ginger, melatonin, fish oil, glucosamine with chondroitin, B complex (for the neuropathy) and vitamin supplements. I am now in chemo with Carboplatin/Taxol/Avastin.

Are you in pain also? for the pain I go to my family doctor who is kind enough to prescribe me pain-killers but the fact is that pills is not the solution and the pain is so horrible that even percocets don,t work. I always end up at the emergency room with an IV and morphine and now finally they realized that they must operate on me, and it wasn't all in my head. It is in my ovary, and the tumor is huge. I have decided to tell them to take everything out the day of the operation, so I don't have to go through this again. How are you? Do you have the same problem with me?
