@jenelleseaman oh wow I never knew cancer was like this!! One chemo then another and I just started last year was finished I thought in December coz it was my last chemotherapy after my debulking surgery was over I had 3,left so i thought I was finished with chemo but they don’t tell you this stuff but I now wonder why? ?!is it to not get our hopes down so we continue to fight it or what ? I don’t believe it’s fair to believe the whole time tour going to ring that bell and it’s over with! Because it’s not it’s still
A battle and for how long ? I don’t want to suffer either with chemo the rest of my life . So does anyone ever beat it ?? Idk 🤷♀️ it’s sad to hear this is on going for you and I pray God keeps you going stronger every single day . Wondering how that long 2010
to 2025 ? That’s a long time and do you still take medicine or chemo to stop it from returning? I took Zejula and it still returned . Thanks for in info God bless you

@leftybarb I had another PET CT scan in September that showed it has returned, maybe even in the chest cavity which is unusual. I also have sarcoidosis ... I had biopsies done of the lymph nodes in my chest last Friday, where the doctor went through the esophagus to get to them! My oncologist wants me to have another scan in November, and then I'll start the next round of chemotherapy after that ... probably on 12th December. This time it is gemcitabine and carboplatin. This is the ninth time I will be going through chemo. My oncologist calls me his "Champion"! I have also been asked to recount my journey at an Oncology Conference on the 21st November as well! I have alot to say!! I have gone through more than just the chemo as well. I've had a Whipple's procedure too, which was very drastic!
I don't look unwell. I love shocking people with my history. I also have a very large support network that has allowed me to keep teaching throughout my treatment, when I have been able. I am very appreciative of every day that I get!
