Ovarian

I was diagnosed two years ago with ovarian,with malignant ascites and cancer in the peraneum. I did 6 carbo ,planned surgery midway was cancelled due to low platelets,at the end of the carbo on traces or scar tissue left,a few months later put on naraparib for a year then had to come off them due to low hemaglobin that two transfusions didn't fix..I.m exploring alternative options now. Sleep is an issue,no matter how tired I am as soon as I go to bed I.m wide awake stressing

    Hi I have ovarian cancer too with so much spread now, they won't operate. I asked for morphine to help me sleep, I'm also on Amitryptyline that they increased, I also take cocodamol. My problem is arthritic pain and I hate not being able to sleep. Why don't you ask for something to help you relax when you go to bed? X
