Hi,

After a really hard uncertain time we got the official news today my mum has Ovarian cancer. The doctors have told us the cancer is treatable/controllable and chemo is due to start in a few weeks. 

People are telling me I don't need to worry, and it is reassuring that the uncertainty over what it is has ended. I'm still just incredibly worried about the future and what might happen next. 

Any advice on how to cope? Thanks

  • Sorry to hear but thank goodness its treatable,just stay strong for your mum she will be fine,I've just Dina tear of chemo,just remember it's not all doom and gloom being on chemo and it does saves lives,I had breast cancer so completely different to your mum.I wish her well and you will all get through this,stay positive x

  • Thank you so much for your reply. I'm staying positive the 6 rounds of chemo we've been advised of will be enough. It's a new normal to get used to for sure.

  • I'm sorry your mum has ovarian cancer. My mum also has ovarian cancer. We found out in December 21. I have no advicehow to cope. All I can say is take it one day at a time. Be prepared for sudden changes in treatment plans/condition of your mum etc. It's a very rough up and down road. Life changes and a new 'normal' takes over. I'm not going to tell you not to worry, or that it willall be ok, because truthfully no one knows, so it really is one day at a time. I wish you and your mum the best of luck with it all x

  • Thank you so much, sending best wishes to you & your mum also.
