I was diagnosed with high grade stage 4 overian cancer treatable but not curable in December 22 had six rounds of chemo ( pacitaxel and carboplatin followed by a full hysterectomy which ended up taking 6” of bowel. A prolonged stay in hospital followed by 18 months of stability. In December ‘25 it was back. Still trying to stay positive am sitting in West Berkshire cancer room having number 4 of 6 sessions. Prognosis is looking good (although I know it will get me in the end). It will be followed by a maintenance programme - not sure what that will look like. Please try to stay positive not easy I know but it does help. Good luck everyone. X
