The new reality

I have been dianosed with ovarian cancer last october and had an operation in Nov to remove alot of stuff inside me. The op went well and most of the cancer was benign but also had apart of my bowel removed and the cancer from this area has now been diagnosed as neuroendocrine tumours. Alot of tests have recently been done and I should have the results of these on 24th March.  So far I've had no other treatment since the surgery so had sort of put it behind me. Now I will soon have to face the new plans for treatment. I know how lucky I am to have this available to me, but right now I dont feel too ill and so am not looking forward to who knows what treatment. Most of the time I just get on with my life as if im "normal", whatever that is. I feel a bit disconnected to the diagnosis. 

  • Hi Aemi

    ​Great news glad your results were good.

    ​I had my appointment with the radiology dept on Tuesday they did the scan but could not do the measurements for the radiotherapy as my bowels were full so I have to go back next week for another one. You have to laugh I have been worried about getting the runs and now am suffering from the opposite. Hopefully next week will go ok. Now I have decided to have the treatment I just want to get on with it

    stay positive River

     

     

  • Hi River, hope all is well with you. I'm just getting on with Day to day stuff. Nothing to report just thought I'd see how things are for you.

    Wishing you well
