Hi

I just received a diagnosis of Stage 4 ovarian cancer a week ago.

A bit of a shock to my husband and myself as we consider ourselves fit, slim and healthy but I went to the gp with swelling and discomfort in my abdomen and a few blood tests and scans here I am.

My major anxiety at the moment is I won't start on the 'plan' of chemo/surgery/chemo until I have a biopsy diagnosis.  Yesterday the radiologist tried to do a biopsy with ultrasound to my omentum bit he thinks he has got no cells as it is difficult to do a biopsy there. Can anyone tell me if theu have had this problem and what they do next. I feel in limbo and just keep imagining the cancer cells multiplying while I wait.

Help!!!!!
