Hi, Im 55 years old and 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with ovarien cancer after an operation to remove my ovaries, tubes and 2 large cysts. I am waiting to have further surgery and chemotherapy. I feel isolated and dont know what to exspect.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community. I can well understand the feelings of isolation and not knowing what to think when you get a any cancer diagnosis. But you're not alone on this forum. Everyone is here to offer support.
After Histology results are in a MDT (Multi Discipline Team - Surgeons, Oncologists, Anaesthetists, CNS etc. ) will meet to discuss your treatment going forward. Things should be clearer after your next Consultation - don't forget to take a notebook with you.
I've a different cancer (Womb) and last year had my womb, fallopian tubes, ovaries, cervix removed laparoscopically. I was 67, some years post menopausal and had light pink mucous type spotting over a couple of days. My bestie nagged me to get it checked out and thank God I did. I was stage 1b, grade 3 serous. I had no idea I had cancer, no-one in my biological family has ever had it of any type.
I'm sure some of the ladies here will be along soon to chat. I see you've put a bit in your profile, I'd add a bit more to your cancer journey then people wanting to know a little more about you can ask you relevant questions or offer advice. (If you're not sure what to write, click on my ID)
