Hi my auntie has just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and I'm so scared. We don't know what stage the cancer is yet but I do know the lower the stage, the better the chance of curing it. I've been Googling the survival rates and I wish I hadn't now, it comes across like even if this cancer is cured it will still shorten your life and living 15 years after being cured seems like the best outcome but I'm not sure if this is true or not. If the cancer is cured can you go on to live a normal, healthy life or does the cancer shorten your life even if it is cured? I've had a family member who passed away from cancer. His cancer was stage 3 when we found out unfortunately so I know the scary reality of this horrible disease for some people but I'm just trying to think positive and hoping that my aunties cancer is in the early stages and that she will beat this. I'm just really confused and I'm thinking the worst now. Any information would be really appreciated, I just don't know how I'm going to be able to stay positive hoping that my aunties cancer can be cured but now I'm thinking that even if it is cured it might still shorten her life. I try not to believe everything I see on google but what I've read has terrified me which is why I've came on here so I can hopefully know what the outlook is for people who have had this cancer but beat it. Sorry for the long post my anxiety is through the roof so I hope what I've wrote has made sense. Thank you
