My darling daughter who is 28 has just started her journey to diagnoses for ovarian cancer. I just want it to be me and not her. After losing 5 babies she finally got her rainbow baby, a beautiful one year old little girl and the thought of my daughter not seeing her grow up is killing me. How can any young woman live with that? I'm so sorry if I've caused any distress
Hi and welcome to the Online Community. I'm so sorry you find yourself here supporting your daughter. Having suffered so much heartache over the loss of her babies she now has this devastating situation to deal with. All of us here are no strangers to the distress and anxiety a cancer diagnosis throws at us. It also doesn't discriminate who it chooses.
I'm going to suggest you join the Ovarian cancer group where you will be able to connect with others making the same type of cancer journey. Just click on the link I've created and join. Then perhaps copy and paste this post to introduce yourself.
It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep writing the same thing over and over. You can amend or update it at any time.
To find more information covering diagnosis and treatments there are pages covering most types of cancers which can be found on our Online Information and Support Section.
Macmillan Support Services also offer lots of information, support, financial guidance or just someone to listen. It’s free to call 0808 808 0000. Most services are available 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. Have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two to three working days for replies from our expert team.
Sending you welcoming hugs B xx

Hi love, this is such a difficult time for you both.
you will be in shock and you will be thinking the worst , it’s normal. But I was diagnosed 2 and a half years ago , with not much hope of even getting through the op.
It’s been a very difficult journey, but I’m still here , enjoying life with my boys and hubby .
Please try to stay positive , the diagnosis doesn’t mean it’s the end, even though it feels like it at this time.
Any time you or your daughter would like to chat I’ll be here for you 
️
