Hi Cathy
It’s horrid waiting for the results of a treatment, but I’m sure your oncologist will know just how nervous and anxious you're going to be.
Ive got stage 4b ovarian cancer and I only managed one round of chemo before the cancer became platinum resistant, since then I’ve been offered several different treatments including radiotherapy, immunotherapy and hormone therapy along with a different chemo regime.
i also know they are a range of new inhibitors available that slow the cancer growth. So, there are further options after and alongside chemo. I hope your situation and disease progression, means you can use one of them to halt the spread.
It always seems like such a long wait, but try not to stress about what you don’t know. My tip is to take a notebook, write down your questions and note down their replies - ask the doctor to list all the possible options with their pros and cons. Or if you’ve got a chemo fuzzy brain I’m sure they won’t mind you recording the appointment on your phone. You might want time to decide the best next step for you, you don’t have to decide there and then what you want to do.
I’ll be thinking of you Cathy on the 26th and hoping all goes well for you.
