What should I expect from 3-day ovarian cancer chemo cycles?

Hi Dolores. Thank you for sharing. You mentioned that you are stage 1. I was diagnosed with stage 1c1 “clear cell” ovarian cancer on June 4. The type of my cancer is also rare and aggressive (but not very aggressive). I also had a hysterectomy. Today is my 3rd chemo (out of 6 rounds/cycles), and my chemo is administered once every 3 weeks. It sounds like we have a different type of chemo treatment. What is the name of your rare and very aggressive cancer? Sending you positive vibes and strength for your chemo on Sept. 15. Listen to your body during the chemo for any reactions you may have. Or you may have no reactions at all.

Hi Dolores!! I was diagnosed April 29. I have stage 3c. I had 4 rounds of chemo, surgery, and had my 5th round yesterday. I have one more round to go. My chemo was not like that. I go once every three weeks. My infusion is with Taxol and Carboplaitin (sp). Luckily for me, I only have a few days of feeling Yicky, then I’m ok. Good luck to you. I’ll be praying for you 🙏🙏🙏
