My heart goes out to you. I was diagnosed with Stage 3b ovarian cancer in early 2024. There’s nothing that can prepare you for the impact of hearing that diagnosis. I had surgery and then six rounds of paclitaxel and carboplatin. It wasn’t a picnic but it was certainly tolerable, though I know everyone has their own experience with it. I wish you the best in coming to the decision that feels right for you. I’ve found it comforting to connect with others here and hope we can support you as well.

Thank you for your response.

My cancer is inoperable, so will have 18 chemo sessions (3 rounds) totally 18 times. My situation is I have been on a biologic drug for an autoimmune disease for 6 years and have had to stop those injections. That has really exacerbated the fatigue. Luckily, I’m long retired so can indulge myself and I have the best caregiver in my husband.
