I would suggest you look at the NCCN (National Comprehensive Cancer Network) guidelines for ovarian cancer. There is a patient guidelines booklet online. These are the standards for treatment used at all of the cancer centers in the U.S. While OCCC research shows resistance to platinum-based chemo, it is relative. Until you know your staging, you will not know how to proceed. Have you been provided with this information? Unless you are stage 1A and observation is an option, chemo will be recommended. Everyone responds differently. If chemo is recommended for you, your team will prepare you in advance. Hair loss is typical, but some women are now using cold caps which may or may not be covered by insurance. The effectiveness varies.
Glad to hear from you. I've been thinking about you.
