Anyone with High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer that has spread to your lungs? If so, how did/are you overcoming it (if it can be overcome). Any long term survivors of this?
Thank you, Trish!
That's comforting to hear and I would love to chat.
I'm new to Macmillan and haven't quite learned how it works. Is there a chat feature or do we chat here?
I would love to know how long you've been living with this, if they cut away the cancer from your lungs, and where you went for surgery (I too want a good oncologist)!
I thought I was doomed, but you are giving me a little bit hope.
Hi Usgirl
I was recently diagnosed High grade ovarian cancer/primary peritineal ..I have recently been told that I have cancerous liquid in lungs. I have not been informed of any treatment as yet, Just wondered if you had any further advice regarding treatment from your oncologist.
I was diagnosed in August 2024 as having cancer cells in an ovary that had an abcess on it that burst - found by chance after quick thinking GP sent me to hospital for surgical assessment.
I had a lot of fluid drained from a lung shortly after this and started chemotherapy in September. I had 6 sessions in all and a total hysterectomy and momentum removed in Feb (should have been in December but cancelled due to high dependency bed shortage). Recovered from surgery very well and start on Naraparib tablets in two days time.
I think I have been lucky in that I had no sickness with the chemotherapy - hoping things stay that way!
Feel free to get in touch any time....
