Hu i have been diagnosed with Ovarian cancer.  I am really scared. Has anyone else here been through this. I have an appointment with addenbrooks next week and then they will give me a date for an operation. In the mean time i am feeling weak and exhausted. Is this normal? Thank you in advance.

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I'm sorry to read that you've recently been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and it's natural to be scared.

    You will find lots of others who have had this diagnosis if you join the ovarian cancer group, which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.

    To join, just click on the link I've created which will take you straight there. Once you've joined you can then start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.

    When you feel up to it, it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
