I have just found out I have Ovarian cancer with Peritoneal thickening & omental caking in my pelvis also enlarged retroperitoneal nodes, I have had CT scans and just had a biopsy,
I am just waiting for the results of the biopsy to find out what treatment I am having Fingers crossed.
I am very nervous about having chemo with the side effects.
I have been reading a lot of your post and they have given me a lot hope that this can be beaten.
Hi, I’m sorry you find yourself here. Waiting for results and treatment plan is such an emotional time. I’m stage 3c high grade, diagnosed Jan 24 currently on maintenance treatment. It’s understandable that you’re nervous about chemotherapy, I definitely was . We are all different, for me once I got that first cycle done to be honest it was more manageable than I thought it was going to be. One week out of three was a bit rubbish but for two weeks led my life well, I found the emotional rollercoaster harder than the physical side effects. I remember when I was first diagnosed wondering if I would go on holiday again and I have been on many and live a good life. There is definitely hope. Best wishes. X
