I'm wondering what led to the decision to stop chemotherapy? You must be so very overwhelmed with ovarian cancer, treatment, and now this.

It's good that your medical oncologist consulted with the hematology oncologist. Was it their recommendation that you stop the chemotherapy because there is a direct association with pulmonary embolism?

I'd like to provide support for whatever your decision is. When do you next see your medical oncologist?

Hi Helen, I feel better not taking chemo. This is my 2nd go around with OC (2011 and 2021) and that has helped me be my own health care advocate and go to my sources NOCC for updated treatment guidelines and Clearity for further reports, care, science and support.

They actually wanted me to restart chemo because of a lymph node that showed increased size and uptake. I am going to have a consult with Radiation Oncologist on 12/28 to see what he can offer for treatment; if any.

I have put quality of life over quantity of life and this has back up my choice for those of my friends that are from the medical field. I want to enjoy the life I have and travel, etc.

I just sent a message to my medical oncologist to see if I need to see her or have labs to check and see if Lovenox is working. I am sure I will hear back next week.

Much gratitude
