Hi, I’ve been diagnosed with ovarian cancer this week. The waiting is just awful. I’m not dealing with it very well. It has spread up other areas . I’m thinking the worst and need reassurance that I can deal with this!
I know what you mean about struggling to talk about it. Just makes it more real actually talking about it doesn't it, and i so don't want this to be real. I feel so very lonely and scared. Know i have to be strong but sometimes its so hard.
Thank you for the advice about the bed wedge. I'll have a look at those. Also the ear buds, although may have to invest in a new pair as the dog has eaten one!!
Thanks Elisa. The biggest of positive thoughts back to you too, and hope everything goes well on 23rd.
Holding on to what you said about the treatment meaning you're taking back control in your reply to ida. What a great way to look at it. The control starts to come back my way on Monday.

I have also felt so very scared - but coming on here and connecting with other people on a similar pathway has been helpful. x
