Ovarian Cancer

Hi.. I have stage3 ovarian cancer, I've had 6 rounds of chemo and debulking surgery apart from a few spots on my peritoneum I'm fortunate that it hadn't gone further,  currently taking Niraparib which I've been taking since early September, this makes me an insomniac! Other than that and initial side effects and low hemoglobin and Niraparib causing stage 1 kidney disease I'm doing ok, monitored weekly at first then  monthly, I also suffered from ascites and had two abdominal drains, I wish you all the luck in the world, as you say its scary, stay strong, merry christmas to you 

Thank you for getting in touch

 It is appreciated. Feeling bruised and sore after laproscopy procedure on last week. Hadn't appreciated just how uncomfortable this was going to be. Next stop oncology appt should hear the results from abnormal cells taken from  omentum and peritoneum. Unable take cells from the mass on ovaries as impacted near bowl. They have also drained fluid from an ascites. Expecting to start chemo and hopefully this will happen sooner than later.

I do have do good news as first grandchild was born on 29 December. 

Congratulations ️ I have 5 grandchildren 3 boys and 2 girls so very blessed, I wish you good luck with your further treatments, they can be gruelling but I'm sure you are strong, God bless
