Hi Frankie10 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

Would you feel comfortable telling us what brings you here, ie your diagnosis and treatment so far?

Hi, I was diagnosed in December 2021 with ovarian cancer, I was working, dating, driving, had a great social life and was totally shocked at my diagnosis as my gp etc though I had gallstones and a UTI, I began chemo and them had an op in July 22 to remove ovaries and go see what else could be treated which I was told was more a way of trying to keep the cancer at bay  I then commenced on tablets. After a recent CT scan the cancer has spread to my liver and spleen so I had the most hardest choice to make to have more chemo to maybe give me a year or no treatment and unfortunately have a few more months, my new grandchild is dueij sept and it's my sisters 60th in August both of which I want to see so I chose chemo, I have had 3 sessions which so far indicate my cancer markers have started to go down. I no longer drive, work, date or go out socially but as I'm single I do find things tough  I like to read people's success stories but also would like to maybe chat to someone that's in the same position as me I don't want to be the doom and groomer but unfortunately some of us are not going to be sucess stories 

Sorry for spelling mistakes and rubbish grammar but even trying to composs an email is tough and tiring.
