My mom is diagnosed with ovarian 3c (we are still in shock coz she's supposed to be the healthiest & fittest in the family) is advised 3 chemo-surgery-chemo.Now she's done with first chemo & her stomach is still distended. Anyone with Neoadjuvant chemo had this experience? Did the tumour start shrinking from first chemo itself or ? Any experiences on Neoadjuvant chemo will be helpful for my mom..she's 42, after 1st chemo,had side effects for 3 days, had low counts on 10th day cbp, recovering now, active so far.but im worried about the distended abdomen (before start of chemo..there was mild ascitis)Any one had weight gain during 1st chemo itself? She's eating more to pick up her blood levels to normal before her next chemo.is that ok?
