Hi, my first post on this forum. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 4b in January 2024 which has also spread lymph nodes under my and neck. I have been having chemotherapy every week carboplatin and paclitaxel. unfortunately I have had the last 3 out of 4 weeks of chemotherapy cancelled due to low immune system caused by the chemo. My concern is having so many cancelled how does this affect the treatment as it seems the less chemo I receive the less the treatment will work. I asked the senior sister of the chemo unit this question and she couldn’t really answer it. So I’m now struggling mentally as I haven’t had the opportunity to speak to my oncologist so don’t know if there is a Plan B as my system seems to be reacting badly to the chemo.
Has anybody else had this problem?
