Since December’23 when I was first diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 4 I have had 2 lots of chemotherapy, full hysterectomy with bowel resection! 2 weeks ago I was informed I also have Crohn’s. I thought I was coping well, being quite positive but now I feel upset and angry. Can anything else be thrown at me!! is there any point in fighting on??
Dont be angry and upset !!!
Lots can be done regarding crohns !
What i cant fathom is how this wasnt picked up far earlier in your life or was it a result of the bowel resection...???
Crohns just doesnt happen out of the blue and many many people have symptoms far far earlier .
Crohns is not more cancer !
DONT BE ANGRY & UPSET !!
LOTS CAN BE DONE !
OF COURSE THERES POINT IN FIGHTING ON !!
I KNOW AT LEAST 10 PEOPLE WITH CROHNS !
LESS TALK OF THAT .
YOUVE GOT THROUGH WHAT YOU HAVE AND ARE THINKING OF GIVING UP OVER THAT .
DONT YOU DARE !!!!!!
I KNOW A LITTLE BOY HES 5 WITH THAT !
HED TELL YOU OFF !!
NOW ONWARDS AND UPWARDS OK !
Hello, sorry for the late reply️ I know just how you feel. I have had the surgery, chemotherapy x 2 now am on PARP Inhibitors which for the first 3 months have side effects which are driving me mad!! Then I get a phone call saying there is something in my liver and I may have to have radiotherapy. Please don’t give up
the positive thing about the Crohns is it isn’t cancer, but given what you have been through you have every right to be angry and up-set! These emotions will pass it is just another shock to the system.
