Can ovarian cancer come back in stomach and bowel area?
Community Member
I had ovarian cancer in 2022 with a complete hysterectomy and 6 cycles of carboplatin and taxill. I now have a tumor on my stomach and near my bowels with enlarged lymph nodes. No biopsy was done because the tumors can’t be reached. One is near a large vein and the other near my bowels. My CA-125 numbers are going up too. 6 cycles of chemo start this Wednesday with Avastin Has anyone had bad side affects from Avastin?
Can pneumonia after chemo be mistaken for lung cancer recurrence?
June 2022 I was diagnosed with stage 3b. Did my 6 chemo appts. Then last year I was diagnosed with pneumonia the antibiotics weren't strong enough...so I contact my healthcare facility and they saw me did a chest X-ray and said I have a possiblity of lung cancer. So they took me off antibiotics. Then they did a biopsy of my lungs. My cat level went up to 19 from a 5. Well then I went to my son's and they rushed me to the hospital and I found out that I had triple pneumonia. Fungal, bacterial and viral. I lost the use of one lungs. Now I go to a pulmonologist. Who says I only lost 10to 15%. How? Now I. Having a cat scan because of possible lung cancer Dr says I have 3 noggles on my chest bone. How can all of this be true. Yes I go to the same cancer center as diagnosis date.

Has anyone experienced massive fluid retention with stage 4 ovarian cancer?
I have ovarian cancer that started in 2022. I’ve done multiple treatments and rounds of chemo. It is stage 4 now and I had treatment in 2022. It went into remission. and reoccurred in 2025. Since then I have have gained 50 lbs of fluid. Has anybody else experienced this problem with massive fluid retention? Also, I just got my scans back this week and it is not cancer that is causing the fluid or it’s not tumors that are causing the extra weight gain.
How do you stay positive and hopeful while surviving stage 4 cancer?
Hi! I’m still surviving 4 stage cancer! Was diagnosed in the beginning of 2024! It’s was a hard journey! It’s took the first 3 months to stabilize me for surgery! That was a failure! Gone through 15/ chemo! Many scans! 18/ bad doctors reports! I am now on Lynparza! Finally I have received 4 doctors reports that is positive! All through it all my stats through it all stayed strong! Learning to live with it all ! Every day I am here is a blessing! Stay positive it is easier to heal especially when I had nothing left to give! It was my Abba Father! Jesus! & the Holy Spirit! That directed my path to amazing Doctor! Who got me through many difficult situations with my health! So stay strong/positive & I 🙏for you all!
Anyone interested in a plant-based cooking group for cancer support?
Is anyone working on increasing their Whole Food Plant based meals and social interaction? I am thinking about starting a zoom group where we cook the same recipes together, talk, laugh, and just share a good time. Let me know if you are interested!
