Hi

New to this site. On Wednesday 17th I was told that I had stage 3 ovarian cancer, although I am waiting to have a biopsy to confirm this, although the consultant is pretty sure! He has told me that after the biopsy I will have one round of chemo, followed by a hysterectomy, then another round of chemo. I am absolutely terrified! Still so tearful all of the time, is this normal? Thanks

    Hello. With Stage 3, what symptoms do you have? Do you get lots hot flashes and sweats? My skin feels like it’s burning.

    I also am stage 3(C) and have lots of hot flushes and sweats but thought that could just be the menopause returning again as I gave up HRT immediately when first diagnosed but now I’m not sure
