Hi everyone,
I’m writing because I’m looking for any suggestions or input at all. I No my message is more like a story book So I’m not expecting everyone to give me a big response anything at all is greatly appreciated.
My mom was diagnosed with Stage 3C High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer.
She had a hysterectomy and then started chemo a little before a month later Dec.4th\18
Carboplatin and Paclitaxel used for treatment.
6 treatments.
After this was completed she was not offered anything for mantience just to contact the Doctor if she felt any signs of pain or discomfort and so on. ( there was a trail with a placebo but the travel distance was about 5 hrs away from where she lives and the thought of getting a placebo she did refuse at the time)
I feel her blood work should have been checked more after she was set free from her 6 treatments but I’m not going to Dwell on the past. She felt she was feeling bloated and sore along with other signs so she asked the DR for a CT scan
3 spots noticed on CT scan I asked why she never had a PET scan and they say there is no need for one the CT scan is fine to focus on for now ? As we do not have a PET scan at our hospital available she would have to travel / be put on waiting list to get one ... but shouldn’t she be regardless getting one ? Makes me wonder !?
CT scan result
7cm right side of abdomen lining abdomen peritoneum
3 1/2 cm liver? I think
Lymph node by liver 3cm
Offered Caelyx treatment nothing else with it as of right now ?
I asked if she was carboplatin sensitive and the DR. didn’t give a definite answer but with most people that have reoccurrences within 6 months most people are told this from what I’m reading.
