I was diagnosed with 3c overian cancer o christmas eve. In and out of hospital for my first 3 chemo sessions were as an inpatient due to fluid needing draining. No op offered at this stage but to.ors and markers had reduced.
Had further 3 sessions and then a discussion regarding surgery agreed to a laparoscopy to look at the situation further. This was done today feeling g ok going g home tomorrow could have gone today. But after talking g to surgeon wanted time to digest what he said. So have stayed tonight .
I have been offered the above surgery. Who else has had this. Although my c125 levels have gone from 1589 in dec to 217 now. The actual tumours and cancer if fairly active. Last chemo was 9 weeks ago.
I ve an appointment on 3rd sept to discuss decision as he want op done in next 4 weeks. Is it normally that quick.also looks like a permanent stoma bag too.
I know only I can make this choice but I am scared and confused.
Any one been the same
Hi
I can't help with any experience of ultra radical surgery but I noticed that your post hadn't had any response yet.
I agree that it's horrible when the choice of having surgery or not is put into our hands. I think that often we secretly wish we were just told what to do and not given a choice!
If you type 'ultra radical' into the search bar in this group you'll find quite a few posts which mention this. You could have a read through them and reply to any of the more recent ones if you think the poster can help with any questions you might have.
Wishing you all the best with whatever you decide to do.
