I was diagnosed dec 24 after operation to remove a mass , I've had debulking plus the two chemo,s used for ovarian cancer. After 3 chemo treatments results of scan showed a new growth in pelvis lining and still showing cancer in right side of pelvis. So introduced targeted therapy. Had 7 rounds of this treatment. Then ended up in hospital with bowel perforation and abcess. Oncologist stopped the targeted therapy. I know find myself very scared and depressed because all my hope was in the targeted therapy. Now I feel like my safety blanket has been pulled from under my feet. Now I just keep thinking about how it's gonna grow uncontrollably. I have high grade serous carcinoma grade 3 b. Has anyone else had the same experience? If so how are you coping ? . Would be so grateful to hear from anyone in same situation. Thanking you .
surgery. Long story short I have been doing well. I was on Olaprib for just shy of 2 years and able to enjoy my family, holidays and my beautiful garden. I am sadly experiencing again the fear of the known as my cancer and I'll say it quickly has returned. It was like the rug was pulled from under my feet. It is now affecting my lymph nodes and I've opted to have chemotherapy again to try and stabliise the disease. It's early days as I only restarted my treatment on Monday but so far I'm thinking I can do this. I consider myself lucky. I have as I said earlier a beautiful loving family, a a nearly 3 year old grandson and another due at the beginning of December. My medicine will continue to seek sanctuary in my garden even though winter is on its way and make the most of each day. I find keeping good friends by my side is helpful bit acquaintances are generally only seeking to spread my bad news. (But that maybe that's just my experience as we've lived here 37 years. I worked at the local primary school and played a big role in the community). Please feel able to chat if you like x
