Where to start - when to finish!!

Hi my name is Ann and I am new to this blogging game.... where do I start?? I was diagnosed 'officially' on 24th April with ovarian cancer. I have been under the weather since about 8 months with various conditions. Excuriating back pain whilst I was in Dublin in June of last year with my beautiful daughter (a joint birthday and mothers day present from her, the trip not the back pain!) Went to see my GP on my return but didn't see her saw a locum who referred me for physio.... as you would with back ache. Although in fairness the GP that I saw in Ireland (my aunty Peg just grabbed in off the street on his way to surgery!) said after pumping me full of morphine for the flight home, that I should have a scan when I got back... thought no more of it. A couple of weeks later my knee gave out on me and once again I was referred for physio. I also had an MRI on my knee but nothing major showed up. Feeling confident enough to get on a plane again I went to New York in February this year. The back and the knee held up with the hours of walking that we did getting lost!!!! About a week back from New York I was suffering from back pain again and cystisus. Went to Boots to get a home treatment kit... it didn't work. Went to see the practice nurse who prescribed antibiotics.... they didn't work. Got an appointment 48 hours later to see my GP. ..... then it all kicked off!!! Thanks to the very speedy reactions of my GP. She ordered an Ultrasound where a 14cm 'lump' was found on my right ovary. The results of which were faxed across to my GP that morning. Thanks to my GP between 17th March and 24th April every test going was done. I see the Oncologist tomorrow and I have been told that I know have a tumour on BOTH ovaries which are too big to cut out so they are starting chemo to reduce the tumours before they do a full hysterectomy. My husband says that my tummy is now bigger than my boobs.... and that takes some doing!! Reading some of the blogs on this site with some of the negative comments about GPs and hospitals, I would just like to say very big thankyou to all the medical staff that have so far been involved in my case (especially my GP). I am determined to beat this indiscrimate disease... keep in touch and good luck everybody. Ann xxx
