Hi
i have just been diagnosed with Ovarian cancer , it is in my ovaries ,Fallopian tubes , lymph nodes, and a few other places.I have sliver on the liver which they can't operate on . I am due for major surgery within the next 3 weeks. Then Chemo when I have recovered.I am so scared!! I am trying to be strong & fight this thing but frightened for the future.
I only went to the doctors 3 weeks ago with a bit of bloating. Had blood tests which flagged up the Ovarian result.
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
Although I wasn't diagnosed with the same type of cancer as you I do understand how scared you feel right now. Like you, I wasn't expecting the results of my biopsy to come back as cancer and I felt completely numb and shocked at first. However, this feeling will pass especially once you find out what your treatment plan is.
You might like to take a look at this information Macmillan have produced when you've just been diagnosed and I'm also including a link to their information on ovarian cancer.
If you have any questions regarding your upcoming treatment just post your question to this group and there'll probably be someone who can share their experience with you.
When you feel up to it, it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit 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.
Sending a supportive ((hug))
