Hi sorry to hear that. How are you getting on with your stoma? I had an op in Oct to remove a mass in my pelvis which turned out to be more in my intestines so had to have some of my intestines out and needed a stoma. Im currently on cycle 3 chemo following stage 4 diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
the chemo I have is manageable - feel like crap for about 9 days but the anti sickness meds I get keep the sickness at bay.

what chemo / meds are they giving you?

hope All goes well for you
