Hi I am 46yrs old and I have been diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in January, had one chemo session and due another this Friday. I am feeling really depressed about my diagnosis and how this has changed my life. From being a full time community nurse to now just plodding around the house. I do not enjoy doing even the things I used to enjoy. Would appreciate some support and would love to know how others get by daily with this awful disease.

  • Will it not shrink enough for them to get it for you? 

    I think the idea of a 2nd opinion is a good one. 

    They will not take offence, at the end of the day- you need to know you are getting the best evidence based treatment.

  • Hopefully, but think the problem is because a lot of lymph nodes are involved which are near major arteries.
