I had my operation in June. Then was told they had removed all visible signs of cancer. I had been diagnosed with stage 2b. I have undergone one chemotherapy session paclitaxol and carboplatin. On my second chemo, I had a severe reaction so have now been told it is unsafe to continue with the paclitaxol. I will now just have the carboplatin. I am concerned that it will be not enough to ensure there are no micro cancer cells left in my body. Has anyone else had the same. Thank you
I’m so sorry to hear your news, sending you big hugs x
Hi
That would have been a devastating result to receive, and I’m so sorry to hear it has spread. Do you mind me asking if it is still contained within the pelvis or has spread outside of there? The reason I ask is that I was able to have major surgery when my cancer recurred as it was still within the pelvis.
