Dear me,
I know that you are working to tolerate this sudden diagnosis..
Clear cell ovarian cancer
Heavy, yes I agree with you
Escaping from it, you tell yourself that you are worried about its impact on your family and close friends
You won’t trick me with that
Tell me about its impact on you?
Are you that worried?
4 days and you will undergo what they call debulking surgery
They will take off your remaining ovary, cervix, omentum, surrounding lymph nodes.. etc
Just to make sure that other tissues of your body won’t catch the cancer
What else, adjuvant treatment
Chemotherapy cycles to kill any other criminal cells hiding, if they exist..
Take it easy
Who enjoys menstrual cycles anyways?
Looking at you, my dear me, you had it with endometriosis
Much harder that those who did know about it
Let the ovaries go, you do not want them
Worried about early/ surgical menopause?
Mental issues
Osteoporosis
Hot flashes
Depression..
You will overcome them, no matter how slow this goes
Oh, I forgot about the surgery rehabilitation
You can overcome it
Then comes the chemotherapy
Few cycles, your treating team will decide how many and what types of drugs they will give you
More side effects
I won’t name them here
You don’t know exactly how much you will suffer
Take it easy
All will fade, nothing lasts forever
See you later
