Hi, I was diagnosed with exactly the same as you in August last year. My cyst was very large 26cm so I had to have debulking surgery.  I had already had a full hysterectomy some years ago so no need for them to remove anything in that area but because it was so large they had to go in via the abdomen. The tumour split and spilt during surgery so they recommended I had chemotherapy. On Tuesday this week I had the last of the 6 cycles so just coming out the other end now. I was going to have a combined chemo treatment I but had an allergic reaction to the main drug (Pacitaxel j to the main chemo drug so they recommended I just had the one type Carbuplatin. I had breast cancer 10 yrs ago and had a Taxel based chemo drug fir that and reacted to that too so they have now decided I an allergic to any drug connected to the yew tree on which they are derived. This is personal to me and is very unlikely to be the case with others. Like you, they are goi g to now closely monitor me provided of course that the scan I’m having in a couple of weeks says it’s all gone.

i understand you are probably anxious but I’m 76 and this is my third run in with cancer as I had colon cancer and surgery in 1986 before the days of chemotherapy for that type of cancer.im still here and looking forward to getting back to normal life in a few weeks time. The treatment isn’t great but they’ve made great strides over the years and it’s a lot better than it was, for instance I’ve not been sick and not gone bald this time round. If you take their advice and just prepare to be out of sorts for a while you should come through it ok. Stage 1c is still an early stage so caught at a time when the outcome looks positive. 
hapoy to chat 

Thank you  teading what you said has given me hope and positivity 

I have no been given all clear from ovarian stage 4 cancer. I am on meds as i have a gen which means cancer can come back . I have had major surgery and chemo all went very well only two months into remission but feel down . This isnt like me think maybe all the intencaty off the last year then all calm is taking time to get my head around. Anyone got any ideas on how to kick start my new life? Thank you

Good, I’m pleased. Everyone is so lovely too, they really make you feel cared about and my experience in the chemo room is there are as many laughs as worries. 

Thats what people dont understand you can feel rough but alot of times you have a laugh x
