I had surgery late last August for stage 2 ovarian cancer and began chemotherapy (carboplatin) end of October. I completed only four out of the planned six cycles because physically I couldn’t continue. My final treatment was early January. Two months later I still have fatigue, brain fog and mixed emotions. I’ve been walking for exercise, though I’m still experiencing pain from the radical hysterectomy. I have an appointment with my oncologist on April 15th to find out whether I’m in remission. Some days feel manageable, others much harder. I expected to have recovered more by now.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
