Gynecological neuroendocrine cancer

Posted by margaret2 @margaret2, Feb 8, 2019

I am curious if anyone else has had a gynecological neuroendocrine tumor. I had 2 separate neuroendocrine cancers. One was stage 3 ovarian with involvement in the omentum.
The other was a stage 2 breast cancer.
The information on this is almost impossible to find
Maybe someone else has had experience.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) Support Group.

That is understandable, @margaret2.

How are you feeling now? Have you found a way to deal with and/or treat the sadness as you were experiencing? Are you still taking Taxol?

I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you update me on how you are doing?

I found out that I was very anemic and I think that was part of the problem causing me to be so sad. I had to skip one dose of Taxol but did have it this week. I am scheduled for a Neupogen shot to try to decrease the chance of anemia. Chemo makes me feel nauseated and generally bad but I do feel better than I was.

Thank you for your response.

Hello @margaret2

I'm so happy that you posted an update and to hear that you are feeling somewhat better. Even a little good news can be uplifting, can't it?

I was not familiar with Neupogen injections, so I looked up some information. Here is the link, https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-9370/neupogen-injection/details

Will the doctor be giving you these injections or will you be self-injecting?

I get the Neupogen shots at a clinic in the Cancer center. Treatment and doctor's appointments are all close together.
