My wife's stage 4 ovarian cancer

I forgot to mention that just before wofes chemotherapy started she had a 3 kilo tumor removed which has spread to other parts also .

hiya, so sorry your feeling so stressed by your wifes diagnosis and treatment, good to hear she has responded so well, gives me hope as i am awaiting operation to remove 2 tumours, then will undergo chemo. you have done the right thing by adding yourself to this site, people often forget that the loved ones, get as distressed as well as the patients, i am speaking about my husband and children and grand children too. My husband is like you, he has not worked since my diagnosis, he just cannot concentrate as his mind is just a blur with everything going on. he has found it very helpful to occupy himself with a hobby, just as i have at the moment, and talking to family and friends on how he is feeling. Also may i  suggest going to your own GP they may give you some temporary meds to help calm you, so you can get back on track,or maybe they can put you in touch with a local group of people to meet up or telephone chat too.

Thank you for you kind words and I wish all the luck in the world to yourself for a happy and good outcome belive in yourself and belive you can beat this keep a strong mind you got this x

Hi im sorry to hear what your family is going through . My mum has too been diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer it's come from nowhere her health has rapidly gone down but has just had her first dose of chemo last week it doesn't seem to have done much but its the first lot shes too ill for surgery or a biopsy to see the type of cancer . Anyway take comfort in and look at the positives that's all I can say your wife has had surgery and 5 lots of chemo and your doing your best your there your being a star and try to take care of yourself . Talk to your friends don't bottle things up . I wish you well and your wife 

Hi   i am just starting down the same path as you now, partner has similar stage cancer and feel myself already a state and wrecked by it all   coping  worrying   the future is never out of my head and i am gutted for her.  Could i ask was work supportive or did you leave altogether  i know this is going to be a struggle for me.thanks

Hi and sorry to hear your news , as for work they have supported me yes but I had to get a sick note each month from my doctor , I was at work and always in tears etc so due to stress been signed off ,  so go down this route and you should be fine mate and I wish you and your wife all the luck I the world for a good outcome. 

Thanks for all the great advice mark   we are already cramming in the green veg and looking to in some healthy walks when our brain fog settles..good luck with everything and i hope we can keep each other informed along the way,all the very best.
