Hi everyone.  Happy new yearxx I am currently in remission from ovarian cancer,  but still don't feel physically well. My mental health is suffering because I am scared of recurrence.  My next scan is in February. Does anyone else believe that when cancer was first diagnosed everything happened that fast we didn't have time to really take it on board, but now after treatment and surgery, the fear is bigger.

  • Hi 12jilly

    i finished chemo yest Grinso happy but very emotional at the same time.  Got my scan next week and oncologist next month. Pray  I totally agree, didn’t really react to anything as you go thru the motions but now I live in fear of reoccurrence.  It’s the emotions that I’m struggling with and usually a very strong person, but I just give in to them and try not to fight it anymore.  Good luck and hope it all goes well for you and a Happy New Year.

  • Thank you, it's a scary shocking diagnosis and causes so much anguish but I guess we have to push on and live each day. Let's hope that remission continues for a long time. Bless you. Xx
