Hi Judy I think you should call and ask your doctor why you weren't put on maintenance meds. Just to make sure a mistake wasn't made. I would not assume anything till you hear it from him. What if he forgot to prescribe them to you? Or at least you can find out why you don't have them if he didn't forget to prescribe them to you.
That’s the key. Positive Thinking. Thankful ! Enjoy the good days, rest on the not so good days. 🙏🌻💪
I had stage 4 ovarian cancer, 3 rounds if chemo, surgery and three more tounds if chemo. My ca 125 went from 965 to 47 and cat scan shows all clear no residual cancer. I am not on a maintenance dose and will see my oncologist every 3 months. Last chemo March 30th. I am staying positive and praying. Stay strong.
I have not taken any maintenance drugs. Surgery 1/2016, no recurrence and now NED. Neuropathy began in 2018, is tolerable with no drugs. Issues today are also do to age (89). Tylenol helps for pain otherwise try to find joy each day
