By the way, I really had/have fallopian tube cancer that spread to my ovaries - so I've been calling it ovarian cancer. Treatment is the same. Fallopian tube cancer is really rare. Guess I'm just special :)
Because I've been in a research study (taking chemo pills at home), I have been having more frequent CT Scans than other patients. Good thing, because I have no symptoms and my blood work is normal. Yesterday's CT Scan picked up a tiny lesion in my abdomen. Not sure yet whether it will be biopsied (and that could delay my new chemo) and there could be a false negative. So, Elena, the wonder doc says - let's go for the chemo. Different cocktail this time. Starting Tuesday for 4 hours, the following Tuesday for an hour, then a week off. Repeat 6 times for a total of 16 weeks.
I shouldn't be as wiped out this time and may not lose my hair. Staying strong. Now must learn to deal with cancer as a chronic condition. I got lemons, looking now for the lemonade. Off to synagogue for 6 PM minyan. Prayer can only help.
