My mom was just diagnosed with stage IIIC ovarian cancer and she is having her first round of intravenous chemo radiation tomorrow and I was wondering how long she would have to wait for the next round. I cant be with her to ask these questions but two of my other sister’s are there with her.

Hello:
Very hard question because the doctor will have to go by how
your mom is doing. If her cell count goes to low than they
have to wait and with others it can be on a schedule so
that is why it is a hard question.
But call your sisters and have one of them write down all of
your moms questions on paper than go in with her and take
notes. Trust me you want someone to take notes and bring
your questions with you.
I hope this helps.
I get my chemo usually on either a 4 week or 5 week schedule.
I hand my questions to the doctor when I get in the room.
He reads them than we talk about each question. I have
found this method works best and saves him time and
helps me with all my questions or concerns.
Best of luck and be supportive of her chemo is not easy but
is needed. Keep telling her she is needed.
