Second round of chemo coming up was told Wednesday its my Periteneum now, only just got my life back its been 6 months since my last chemo feel I'm going to die this time very depressed and angry
Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Chemo is horrible but I tried to think of it as my friend as it was trying to me better. It’s very hard coming to terms with cancer. i was diagnosed last April that I had stage 3 ovarian cancer and also of the peritoneum. I had 4 chemo cycles which started in May, then a major op in August, 3 weeks after that I started chemo again, another 4 which finished in December. I’m now on inhibitors. Sometimes it’s really hard to keep positive, but you just have to fight through it.
I try to keep telling myself that I am living with cancer, but living is the key word
So sorry to hear of your diagnosis - i'm just finishing my avastin/maintenance treatment and trying to manage the fear of recurrence. I keep trying to tell myself that more chemo would be the best news in the event of recurrence, the alternative being told that it was not treatable, but I am very aware that going into it again would be very different from the first time, and probably harder to cope with. I can completely identify with your feelings, after just getting back on an even keel after the last turmoil of chemo.
All the best to you - try to remind yourself that if they are recommending chemo it's because they believe it will work.
