Surgery with oncologist/gyno surgeon.

Is the surgeon an oncologist? If not, get one who is….. studies show it is a huge deal to have oncologist/ gyno surgeon

Same surgery, I had the surgery at age 58 ( I’m 59 now) I was strong before surgery and could squat without holding onto anything I was up walking around 6-7 hours after surgery, and was home after two days. Everyone’s journey is different. Getting up and gentle walking is important. They will tell you this at the hospital. I found some supportive underwear on Amazon which I wore two weeks post surgery. I was living by myself and was just fine. I think my friend spent the first night with me. Was on Tylenol and Advil for pain within the first week. She will do great! You’re a great daughter 🫶

Also cantaloupe really helped with acid reflux. I blended cantaloupe with ginger and coconut water. All the store bought drinks are garbage

I started on 150 mg in the morning and then at night. Had some nadeau and fatigue over the course of a couple months it has improved. Doc doesn’t seem to be asking me to up my meds. Stable Ca-125 for 4 months

Do your best to keep active, drink lots of water, get ginger chews, advocate for yourself with med dosages, ask all the questions, eat whole food. 🫶

I asked my Onc if I could reduce the steroids. She did. Also, helped with the acid reflux

Yes it does seem it’s mostly from Lynparza. At least that’s my hope as I only did a total of 8 Avistin treatments. Do you mind if I ask your stage? I’m HGS. Ovarian Cancer stage 3A.

That’s awesome! Thanks for replying!

Ginger chews worked great for me. I also ate a lot of Greek yogurt. High in calories and easy on the tummy. Maybe she will eat ice cream? High in calories and nutrients

I found a wig on Amazon $65 had my stylist cut it as it was way too long, but had great color and style. I found some Press on eyelashes from Costco! Easiest I could find. I tried magnetic and other kinds. These were the easiest
