Avatar f tn Her and I kissed and she gave me oral sex and fingered me and I later realized she had a scab on her finger. I gave oral sex to our guy friend who was with us after he already ejaculated. I did not have sexual intercourse with him nor did I preform oral sex on her. I now have itchy spots on my neck and chest, headaches and neck pain. I went and got tested yesterday but I have been stressing over the fact of having HIV for weeks now.
Avatar n tn Carboplatin) and she is currently on Avastin. Her last report after chemo was a complete response and she is in remission. My question is - How long after chemo should it take for her to begin feeling like herself again? She has been finished with chemo for 6 weeks and is still feeling weak and sometimes she still has tummy problems. She gets weak spells that come and go and completely wash her out.
Avatar f tn Is it possible to be cleared completely of cancerous cells after third cycle. Recommended chemo cycles are 6. Are alternative therapies like immunotherapy possible in this case. Any effective therapy available apart from chemo?

794335 tn?1238037723 I also have had chemo as I have lung cancer, I have 2 dogs that were not affected at all by my getting chemo, why would you think it killed your cats and changed the behavior of the other cat, I do not understand what makes you think this, if your cats somehow got into a chemo drug it could definitely kill them but if you yourself alone had taken chemo and didn't have them drinking your urine somehow or taking in any bodily fluids I don't think the cats would die because of you taking ch
Avatar f tn She recieved chemo with carboplatine and paclitaxel every 3 weeks and it was well tolerated, Ca was normal after 2nd cycle of chemo. In July Ca started to rise to 42U/ml but CT scan was negative so we wait for few months. In September Ca has reached 97.3U/ml. She was operated and peritoneal seedings were found in the pelvis , the mesocolon, the intestinal wall, the remaining omentum and the supradiaphragmatic space while a liver lesion was not of malignant origin.

Avatar f tn I had chemo for Limphoma, and I started to get massive body aches, my right hand started to get numb and I was told that after the chemo it would be over. But is not, I finished chemo July of 2009 and I am still in pain, my hand is so bad I have to keep it down, because it gets numb constantly, I told my doctor and she said that it has nothing to do with the chemo. I bearly sleep and I am tired all the time.
Avatar f tn s very disappointing to find out that you are having a recurrence after going through a regime of chemo, especially after only a few months. This happened to me after nine months and it really "took the wind out of my sails". I have stage 3-4, depending on who you talk to, and I just passed my 3rd year mark in February! I've had different chemos since, but the important thing for you to keep in mind is that you will have many good days.
Avatar f tn No it wasn't unprotected evenly after having sex I checked condom was fine evenly I pushed it upwards all sperm was in condom since after that exposure I have pain in testicle so I am scared I contracted HIV or not that's wat I am worried about.. And after I went for Chlmydia and gonorrhoea PCR test it was negative still couldn't figure it out why I am having pain in my testicles....
653618 tn?1260603643 I'm 2 months from surgery with total hysterectomy etc. Taking my 3rd chemo treatment of carbo/taxol on Monday. Have absolutely no sex drive and also have not had the best relationship with my husband for many years on the sex side. Now, after the dx and surgery he is wanting sex. I don't know if this is dx has somehow made him realize that he cares for me or some twisted thing. I know guys are very simple compared to us women and I feel really uncomfortable with this.
Avatar f tn I had ovarian cancer last year. I took 3 chemo treatments prior to having a complete hysterectomy 8-2-07 and took 4 post-op chemos as a precautionary measure. I finished the chemo l2-l9-07. Early March, 2008, I started having severe itching and breaking out in hives several times per week. My oncologist thought I was reacting to the environment since this was the time of year for pollen and he thought it would go away in 4 - 5 weeks but it didn't.
569480 tn?1216907840 If they took them out than why more chemo? Will I need more surgery after chemo? How will they know if the chemo kills the cancer cells in those nodes left inside me?
Avatar f tn I have had I/P chemo, too. It sounds like you are having a good response so far. For me surgical menopause did not bother me too much. I am sorry that you must deal with it at this time in you marriage. You will be in my prayers tomorrow. For my surgery they did not do bowel prep. I don't know why. Try to get yor sleep tonight. You are not alone. Vent anytime and let us know how you are doing.
282804 tn?1236833591 Add me to the list of having chemo days even though the chemo is 6 month behind me. Sometimes I get a wave of fatigue so strong I can't even open my own car door. I don't have the urine symptom anymore, but I do notice the chemo poison smell on my skin even right after a shower. Not every day, but it still is there sometimes. Neuropathy is worse now than during and just after chemo. But, like Jan said, we do muddle through.
523728 tn?1264621521 I know now that my lowest reading ever was after my 2nd chemo and my highest was after my 5th chemo. I hope it starts to go down for you.
Avatar f tn I was regular b/f chemo but immed stopped having periods after my 1st chemo. the spotting is actually enough to warrant wearing a pantyliner. Its been going on for about 10 days now. Thanks for your thoughts.
Avatar n tn I too am having problems with my hair, I am afro american and had chemo and radiation the later part of 2005 and finished up all my treatments in 2006. My hair has come back but it it like two different grades of hair. Thick around the perimeter and thin in the top. I am wearing an afro so it is not too bad, I just do not know what to do. I am trying a product that I bought at an Ulta cosmetic store. The lady told me it was good for people such as my self.
Avatar f tn You had surgery/chemo, thought you were out of the woods, OVCA came back and you started on chemo again. After all this, what is the longest time you have been or are in remission? Thanks in advance.
Avatar m tn My mother just came back from her blood analysis after one week of the second chemo carbo/taxol. Her white cell count is only 2.2, way below the normal range which is 4.0 to 10.0. The doctor gave her an injection to boost this number, and then she feels very tired. Although her ca125 decreased only from 199 to 169 for the first chemo, her side effect was not that severe in the first time.
Avatar m tn So I took oraquick antibody tests at 4 weeks right after completed last chemo 1month after initial exposure, and at 8 weeks ( 2 months from initial exposure which is 1 month after completing chemo ). and both were negative. My WBC count was always at normal level before I start each chemo treatment due to the WBC stimulater shot I took every 2 weeks. Should I consider my results accurate OR do I need further testing up to 6 months. Please Advice.
