    Don’t know what to do with myself! Since starting chemo and immunotherapy I don't really get any joy out of anything. Has anyone else felt like this?

    I'm scared and feel very alone. Dealing with a 7cm complex ovarian cyst with a blood level of 282. Absolutely terrified of what this could be.
