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 Foxygirl, meant to reply to Cantbelieveimhere, haven’t quite got the hang of this forum yet
Evening, I too I'm a newby, I was told yesterday I have overian cancer which has traveled up to lymph nodes I'm the same don't think it's really sank in but I do feel apprehensive for the coming months not knowing what is going to happen, I will hear next week what course of action will be for me....I have the greatest of families so in that way very blessed to have a strong team if supporters around me ( but then I worry for them )... and my number one fan my Yorkie has not left my side since all this came about, I am a strong woman and I'm determined to give this a good fight, but also scared.
Any advice is hugely appreciated x
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
