Hi @ford1929, I moved your question to the Gynecologic Cancers support group here https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/gynecologic-cancer/

I did this to help you connect with other members like @scjoyce @ogie @ginmav @korinja @dene87 @juliea55 who have experience with peritoneal and ovarian cancer.

@ford1929, I can imagine you're scared. This is all so new. Do you know what type of chemotherapy you will be having? Do you have far to travel to the cancer center for treatment?

Hi Coleen
Thank you for redirecting me to the correct support group.
Chemo treatment is Carboplatin & Paclitaxel.
My commute to University of VT Medical Center is an hour away
Sitting is difficult as it causes more pain. Which I'm managing with meds after much
trial and error
I also started acupuncture the day after chemo and so far no nausea
