Diagnosed with 3c/4 ovarian cancer, previous history of bowel obstruction caused by adhesions, subsequent hernia mesh repair. I'm waiting to hear whether I will be offered debulking surgery after my next (4th) chemo. Anxious given my other previous abdominal surgery, appendix, gall bladder, has all contributed to extensive adhesions plus the added complication of mesh. Really don't know whether surgery would just make everything worse. Obviously I will discuss with my oncologist but has anyone had a similar experience?
Hi Pegleg and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I don't have the experience you're looking for, but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' your post back to the top of the discussion list where it'll be more easily spotted.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select '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.
