hi has anybody had kruckenberg tumours on their ovararies. I had emergency surgery in March to remove my ovaries. This was a direct result of the bowel cancer I had in Sept 2019. I now am having 6 months of chemo (raltittrexed)I've been told it's not curative but will buy me some more time. I am trying to come to terms with this but am finding it difficult. Would be grateful for any information.

  • Hi  Can I offer you a warm welcome to the Macmillan Online Community. I’m so sorry to read about your diagnosis but I’m glad you’ve found us.

    My cancer is different, but a cancer diagnosis of any kind makes us ask lots of questions, causes confusion, stress and probably emotions we’ve never experienced before. To be able to talk to other people who are in the same situation will help you get through this, I'm sure someone will be along soon so answer.

    The Macmillan Community is organised into dedicated support hubs. You’ve joined our Ovarian cancer group, this will be a good place to meet up with others making the same type of cancer journey. It might also be a good idea to take a look at Living with Incurable cancer - patients only forum.

    The Macmillan Support Services also provide lots of information, support, financial guidance or just someone to listen.
