Hi I have stage four incurable ovarian cancer. I’ve just finished my 6 bouts of chemo. Now it’s a waiting game before I find out how I am doing. Will I be able to have the operation? When will the effects of chemo start to wait. Will I ever feel like me again? What if I need more chemo? Not sure I could cope with that. This last chemo has left me feeling absolutely bloody awful. Is it worth it? I do wonder!!

Hi Ritab. I completed my chemo on 2 May, previously had debulking surgery 5 Dec 2023. I lost all of my hair, eyebrows and eyelashes (starting to grow back). Chemo is gruelling and for me the fatigue was the worse side effect. Really knocked me sideways.

I am now on 3 monthly bloods and honestly feel in limbo not knowing if/when I will have a recurrence. It messes with your mind.

All we can do I suppose is try to live our lives as best we can and take each day as it comes. It's bloody hard!

Wishing you good luck xx
