I was diagnosed with cancer November, 2022. Had surgery to remove tumor, staged at III. Currently doing chemotherapy (4/6 sessions done). Will do PARP Inhibitors after for 2 years (due to advanced staging and BRCA1 positive status).

Apart from traditional, I have a naturopath. I do high dose Vitamin C infusions after each chemo session, with mistletoe injections weekly. I take 11 supplements. I was eating plant-based, but now eat low carb Mediterranean to reduce carbs/ sugars. Running 5 days per week, prayer, and hugging my kids and hubby daily are part of my personal treatment plan.

I feel like this combo helps me to fight cancer on more fronts.

I was diagnosed with stg4 ovc in 2/14. I started with carbo/taxil. I cant recall but next treatment I had carbo. When it returned I had carbo/ doxy. They started on Zejula. Then next treatment was surgical removal of node and lymparza. Then a year surgery again and more carbo. I started taking Rubraca and it was making me very run down ,so they switched me back to Zejula. I was having way too many problems with this it so I went back on Rubraca.I was shocked as my cancer antigen dropped from 9 to 6 That was 3 years ago. It has been the longest rermission I have had. It has not come free from complications. For me it causes diarrhea and also photo sensitivity. But it's otherwise been very good. I have been 10 years with stage 4B cancer. And I must say I have had good quality of life regardless of the treatment.

Four years since diagnosis for me. Stage 3B. Laproscopic Hysterectomy in 6/19, First round of chemo (IP at first but only 3 rounds) gave me 1.5 years with no recurrence. I started Zejula and could not tolerate. Went on carbo platinum/Doxy with some success but became platinum resistant. Then on to the Avastin/Taxol cocktail which held things at bay for 1.5 years. Now I will start Elahere and am interested in hearing from anyone who is on this new drug.

All the best of life to all- you only die once, but you live every day.

Had CT scan in October. A week later, 10/19, had the vaginal Ultrasound and the labs done. Saw the oncologist surgeon on the 26th. She did my TAH the next day. That’s when I was diagnosed.
My chemotherapy treatments were delayed by a 3 week stay in the hospital for small bowel obstruction. Followed by a second open abdominal surgery.
This Friday I will receive round #4.
If I ever get out of this hospital stay.
Thankfully, There’s improvement on my CT scan. Lung and liver tumors/nodules are smaller.
CA-125 has decreased from 1099 down to 41.

Reading through everyone’s comments and reviewing the protocols I’ve been on in the last 3 years I’m amazed at the variety available! I believe many of the new implementations have allowed a longer survival time for many of us. I give thanks for every day I’m given and relish the time. I’m no Pollyanna, but the worst day is better than no day. 🙏💕
