I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer back in Nov 2022. I was told just 4 weeks ago last lot of chemo not worked. Spread to lymph nodes and only last week I had a pleural infusion.
How does one react to being given a timeline? How should I behave? Unfair but not unlucky is what I've told my family. I'm trying so hard to behave, be good. Not strong nor brave. Such a load of tosh as far as I'm concerned. I will not let cancer define me as a person I am ME always have been!
I had breast cancer back on January 2010. I was feeling so well. Living a fabulous life with no regrets and I wouldn't change anything but boy getting my head around this wretched news is just madness.
