Hi

Ive got stage 4b ovarian cancer (seromucinous adenocarcinoma) metastasised to my pelvic, par aortic and peritoneal lymph nodes and now my skin.

I had one round of carboplatin and paclitaxel but am platinum resistant now and have just finished a round of radiotherapy. Six weeks after the radiotherapy finished and I’ve just been diagnosed with a spread to my skin. I understand this is rather rare and was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and had any experiences to share. 

Any insights welcome. 

Thanks so much Blush

  • Hi and welcome to the Online Community. I haven't received chemotherapy so I'm sorry I can't offer any insight but I would suggest you join the Skin cancer group where you may find someone else has had experienced this. Just click on the link I created and join.

    It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep writing the same thing over and over. You can amend or update it at any time. 

    To find more information covering diagnosis and treatments there are pages covering most types of cancers which can be found on our Online Information and Support Section

    The Macmillan Support Services also offer lots of information, support, financial guidance or just someone to listen. It’s free to call 0808 808 0000. Most services are available 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. Have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two to three working days for replies from our expert team.

    Sending you welcoming hugs B xx
