I've been persuaded by my daughter to look for online support. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last year (misdiagnosed originally by my GP as having a prolapse). I had surgery on 5 November and had pretty much everything inside me removed! That was followed by infections, 2 sets of fluids in my pelvic area requiring drains, chronic diarrhoea, constant nausea, dehydration and finally DVT with a pulmonary embolism. I really felt so low, crying all the time and feeling desperate that nothing would ever get better, and was very close to accepting anti depressants. I had 3 sets of hospital stays. Finally came home just before xmas and off antibiotics on 2 Jan. I have chemo starting next Wednesday but I'm in a much better place mentally now. I really didnt think I could get through the last 3 months, but I hung on - lots of crying but now feel much stronger and prepared to face chemo. Light has returned to my life
