- Diagnosed with High Grade Serous Carcinoma of the uterus, a very aggressive cancer with a high rate of re-occurrence . After a total hysterectomy and oophorectomy, I am undergoing adjuvant therapy which will consist of Chemo and radiation. This is my first chemo session with the drugs Taxol and Carboplatin.

#FightLikeAGirl I also received benedryl, steroids and antinausea meds. The benedryl starting week 2 would knock me out so I slept through my treatments...lol. my hair started coming out day 10, so had my hubs shave it all off. Kept a swatch...you should keep one of the pink! We celebrated with an angelhair pasta dinner and had treats for the actual shave of licorice and pretzel sticks. Gross I know, but my son liked it. The first couple of days the steroids tend to keep you hyped up, which I took advantage of to get housekeeping done. Then was down until the next week. Keep up the great attitude! Im kinda reliving through you. Was telling my mom about you and got really emotional. Described myself as a cancer survivor! It hit hard, but good. Hang TOUGH!!!💗
Kiki Dodson 4C4L you have no idea how much I appreciate your comments! So happy you are a survivor!
Oh Karen, you are amazing! So strong!! Thanks for taking us along on this journey. I really wish and hope that the side effects won't be bad!! Big artsy hugs!!
Hi again! I really appreciate your positive attitude. I had a reaction to Taxol, it affected my breathing. The team flew into action, got me stable, upped my Benadryl, and all went well after that. It's great that you were able to have your husband with you! Mine gets to come in for the doctor consult prior and then must stay out during the treatment. All the best!
You are going to do great. Stay strong and positive as I think that is 95% of beating this beast!
prayers for you.
Your strength and courage are an inspiration. Stay strong and hope the side effects won't be as bad as you are expecting. Thank you for taking us along for your first day of chemo.
Con ham thanks so much for watching!
Sending continued positive vibes! I will continue to include you in my prayers. God bless you!
thanks so much Trish😘
Hi Karen, my cancer was far less serious than yours, but chemo and radiation therapy lasted for three months--but it was wroth it, since eventually I was completely cured.

Robby you are why I have the strength to do this😘
I can tell you have a strong spirit and will, you'll be just fine.
Attitude is everything! I am doing great!
I adore your spirit & strength. I love that you are taking us along your journey. I watched many a friend fight cancer's & recently my brother in law fight through lymphoma....only to beat it. Just as you will. Sending you my love. Sue.
Thanks so much Sue ! I am so thankful to have friends like you! It makes this journey easier!🎨😘
My prayers and thoughts are with you. You are strong and thumbs up on your first treatment. You are doing great. My sister just had her fourth treatment yesterday.
Weblight Dreams thank you for watching and I am sending healing hugs to your sister!
@@ARTbyKDR Thank you, she will be so happy to receive them.
Thank you for your videos...approaching 3rd round of Taxol/ Carbo after my up and coming last round of radiation next week. Your videos have helped me so much. Hope you are recovering wonderfully now ♡
I am doing very well! I am so thankful that my videos have helped a little. Please stay safe and I wish you a full recovery! Thanks so much for commenting. It makes me feel it was worth sharing my journey!
Good to see and hear from you...think of you daily. Friend of mine had to send her dog away for a time during her Chemo...Thyroid Ca. Ms Kiki has some interesting bits in her comments. I am watching this on Sept. 7th..Saturday...Sending germ free hugs and of course daily healing vibes. You look tired but GOOD....YOU GO GIRL!!!!
Victoria Snyder thank you so much Victoria! So glad you are along with me on this journey!😘🎨
Warm wishes to you.
RibeDaniel thanks so much!
Hi Karen, Thank you so much for your videos. I have been on Citasplan chemo for the past 2 months and did well with that. Now, they have put me on Taxol and Carboplatin chemo. This is really rough to deal with. My head is sore and tingling so I figured my hair loss is coming. I can't eat and feel sick all the time. Glad to know I am not on this journey alone. Hugs!
Stay strong and positive! Taking 8mg of Zofran every 6 hours for the nausea worked for me. Don't sweat the hair loss! Have fun with it! I wish you all the best in your journey! I had a recurrence 18 months after my first round and went through the whole thing over again with positive results! I am now NED!
@@ARTbyKDR, Thanks so much for replying. This is rough. I will try to stay strong. I would like to find out if there is a cancer group that meets once a month for support. I love your videos! Love & Light!
@@sylviahall1717I belong to a Facebook support group that has been so much help to me. There are a number of uterine cancer groups on Facebook but the type of cancer we have is very rare and this is specifically for UPSC-Uterine Papillary serous carcinoma. Everyone is very helpful and informed! UPSC warriors are a small group but we are not alone. I encourage you to join this support Facebook group and I also would be very happy to answer any questions you have. You can do this!!
How are you doing now?
My mother took carboplatin and paclitaxel my god the effect is very hard,she did not even stand and eat. I think she's almost die now. But I hope God give her second chance for life. 😢
So sorry your Mother had such a hard time. Wishing you both strength and comfort. Stay positive!
Hello, I had my first infusion 4 days ago, Friday , carbo and taxol. Had no allergic reaction to the drugs but thats probably because of the drugs they pump you up before chemo. I felt fine half Saturday but ohh my goodness by the evening my face was on fire, tomato red. Then came what it felt like a bad urinary infection, burning, burning, drinking a lot of water did not help, at some point I couldn't even hold my pee.If that wasn't bad enough by Sunday night I developed joint , bone pain, tingling , pins and needles !! OMG I literally cried in pain ! I knew that chemo won't be easy, but weakness, dizziness , pains ohh my heaven. How to deal with all this ?? I just had my first chemo , 5 to go and I just wanna run run run. If anyone is experiencing what Im please any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Hopefully by now you are feeling a bit better. The first few days of each chemo are the worst after the steroids wear off. Stay strong and positive! YOU CAN get through this!! This is a link to my video about the first week after chemo th-cam.com/video/p3fMUpxTKPs/w-d-xo.html
