Hi,
I was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer 5 days ago. It was a shock. I thought I was coping ok with it. I now have crushing anxiety which has just started and it’s overwhelming my every thought. Anyone else feel like this?
Hi merry
you will probably go through a whole rollercoaster of emotions and anxiety it’s normal, you will cry one day and the next feel like you’re coping this is all normal
when you are first diagnosed and you have blood tests and scans biopsies and possibly more investigation the waiting for the results seems forever, most of us on here have been there and there are lots just like you at the start of this horrible journey, you can ask ask many questions on here as you like someone will answer you
if you click on my name it will take you to my story
dont be hard on yourself
take care
pam
Hi Pam, Thank you so much for your reply. It’s good to find people who have been through it. I have been referred to a specialist hospital and have my appt now this Thursday. I had surgery 5 weeks ago, ovaries and fallopian tubes removed and the histology report back from this gave an unexpected ovarian cancer diagnosis. I have tried to click on your name Noggins to read your story but nothing is happening. I’m new to the forum so maybe I’m doing something wrong.
Thanks again.
