Hello mayski my name is Sally I had an ovarian carcinosarcoma it's been a year since surgery I had a total hysterectomy followed by six cycles of chemotherapy then five weeks of radiotherapy they hit my cancer hard and I've been told by my oncologist that I have just a five percent chance of it coming back which as you can imagine is fantastic news for me don't believe what you read online I would seriously speak to you're mums doctors my cancer was caught very early so the prognosis is excellent but if it is caught late I'm afraid the prognosis is poor and my doctor said if my cancer was to come back it would of within the first 3 months thank god im a year free so far and my doctor said the longer I stay in remission I stand a chance of it never coming back so please talk with the professionals and I am here anytime if I can help all the best to you and you're mum godbless kind regards Sally xx

Hi Sally, thank u for posting your story I'm so happy you're on the road to recovery, it's lovely to hear. My mum was today diagnosed with carcinosarcoma ovarian cancer. She had her ovaries removed 3 weeks ago and has an appointment next week to discuss her treatment plan. They didn't remove her womb as the surgeon said it was healthy and could have resulted in her Losing part of her bowel. After looking online I was very scared as prognoses doesn't look good but after reading your post you have given me hope. Can I ask how old you are? My mum is 65 and going very well after her op but I worry how the chemo will affect her. On top of this she has had breast tissue removed as she had pre cancerous cells but not connected to the ovarian cancer. Take care. Hayley X 

Hi how did the chemo effect you was it terribly debilitating?

I have to decide wether to have it or not. Have been told it's a1 in 10 success rate for me.

I had a total hysterectomy on 24rd March.

8 weeks on it has spread to my abdomen on the outside walls of my bowels

Not looking good.

I was diagnosed with this cancer eight years and three months ago. I had surgery and six rounds of standard chemotherapy. I have had no treatment since. I am fit and well for my age and have not looked back. ( I am 77) I was given two years maximum and in my case three months. Treatment has moved on since then so do not look on the black side. I understand your feelings, people in our position do but I am an example that there are exceptions.Please use every avenue to keep you and your mum in a positive frame of mind. Complementary therapies helped me no end. Colour me beautiful, the hat shop, reiki, reflexology, Massage and counceling from a local cancer charity.

Keep well and smile as much as possible.

Hope all will be well.
