Recently diagnosed with serous borderline ovarian tumor

@naturegirl5 My treatment is to do 3 rounds of chemo over 9 weeks and check me - than if necessary do surgery.
I am feeling ok- occasional pain but Ibuprofen (1) helps. I mentioned that when this all started my small boobs swelled and are tender. I wear a bandeau day and night -and my feet get swollen too. Dr says it's hormones. Anxious to get this started. My daughter wants to be with me- most say they welcome someone to stay. I expect I will sleep.
This site has been so great for me. I have learned so much and thanks to all of y'all that have replied.

@barbarazabcik Three rounds over 9 weeks, and then your check-up/follow-up might include a CT scan? That sounds about right considering what I've read from others here. Everyone's treatment plan is and should be tailored to the individual. Wearing the bandeau day and night can't be all that comfortable but it's got to be better than the constant tenderness and pain that you felt.
How wonderful that your daughter will go to the infusion center with you. To me, I like having my husband or a friend by my side. We don't have to talk. It's just nice to know that they are there.
I'm glad to know that you are finding Mayo Clinic Connect to be helpful to you. The ladies here in our support group are a compassionate and supportive group.
