| Re: Our journey with Ovarian Cancer All my prayers for a speedy recovery. The positive and brave attitudes of all 3 here is really important to keep moving things forward as a breakdown of one can severely impact others emotionally. Thanks for the supporting comments from other team-bhp members, as they are really informative for me in the sense that the treatment for many has really helped them to get them back to their normal life. Of course, I understand it can be with medications and diet restrictions but it's really promising to hear about it and giving confidence rather than the picture that I used to have about cancer a few years back. |

| Re: Our journey with Ovarian Cancer An Update: GTO, seriously, this forum changed a lot of lives and now what I had written in my first post that it could change ours too with a post and IT DID! RJK pinged me after reading my post and turns out his dad is a superb cancer surgeon who has practiced all his life. RJK and me knew each other through a common friend and from then on we met his dad, my mom was examined and surgery is slated for the coming Tuesday aka 26th October by Dr Jagdeesh at Cumbulla Hill Hospital. 26th is a big day for us, if R0 is achieved during surgery then we have a very good prognosis with the 3 chemo's after that and we are on our way to beating this thing down. I have read all your messages and will quote and reply all of them soon, its just that the tests along with balancing work has not given me a moment to breath. All of you are just stars. Thank you for all the support and positive stories. |

| Re: Our journey with Ovarian Cancer Humble request to Moderators, It will be great if we can have a link on Homepage where each member can request for any help they may require. Any Bhpian who is willing can then contact the person and extend support. We had initiated this small initiative on our School Group (we passed out 31 years ago) and this small initiative has really been beneficial to small group of colleagues who were under heavy weather. Was surprised that almost everyone contributed in their own capacity whenever a call came. Rest will leave to wisdom of TBHP Moderators as this may create other issues unforseen regards, Deepak |

| Re: Our journey with Ovarian Cancer An Update: So the surgery was scheduled for Tuesday aka 26th October but Dr Jagdeesh had some emergency so it was pushed to Wednesday aka 27th October. Mom got admitted to the Cumbulla Hill Hospital on 26th in the afternoon some drips were given along with Enema in the night to prepare her for the big operation. On 27th the Surgery was done. Dr Jagdeesh Kulkarni and his expertise come to play here, R0 was achieved. Everything cleaned up and Jagdeesh uncle told me to relax. From one post on teambhp to an awesome surgery in 1 week, the world around has come together to get all the pieces together as the time to get them together has come. Right from going to Nasik and Babu Uncle and his friends who are doctors diagnosing, scans and reports there to 3 chemos to surgery here, everything has fallen into place at the right time. Amazing stuff. Now we are left with 3 chemos, the first of which will start after a month and 21 days after that the 2nd and last after that 21 days. My mom was in the ICU for one day and they just shifted her to the room. She has walked a bit, liquid diet for today, then small portions from tomorrow and gradually increasing the intake till she is normal and can come back home in a few days. |

Just to post an update on where we are now. Post surgery 2 chemos are done. Sailed through them like nothing because like I mentioned before, the nutrition part was taken care to the T. I will post a detailed post on what we are doing for nutrition, it can help people go through the entire chemo and surgery smoothly. The only thing my mom faces for 3-4 days after chemo is a little nausea, a little constipation for 2 days and mentally she is a little irritated. Food intake is a little lesser for these 3-4 days too but on the 5th day, things are back to normal and food intake and her diet resumes like before. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Re: Our journey with Ovarian Cancer Amazing story. Glad that i read it on the 18th birthday of Team-BHP. What a story - you were bold enough to share your dilemma with the group and it is amazing how you not only got best wishes but also perfect assistance. God bless! Guess by now all 3 chemos would have been completed. Trust your mom is doing well. |
