Hello and thank you for your post,

I am sorry to hear that you had treatment for ovarian cancer and I can appreciate that you have some concerns about your health now.

I am afraid that I can't tell you why you are fatigued still (although some people feel tired many months and sometimes years after having cancer treatment) and have the bruises you mention. While these symptoms are worrying you in case your cancer could have come back, they don't necessarily mean it has.

Your symptoms of pain when eating again may not have a serious cause but should still be checked out to see what could be causing it. So let you cancer team know about your symptoms but you could also make a GP appointment to get your concerns checked out.

I hope you are able to get this sorted out and that you will be ok.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care,

Caroline
