Hi All.
My name is Derek. I am 53 years old and my partner of 10 years was diagnosed just before Christmas. To make matters worse I work in the Netherlands and had to leave two days later. No one has mentioned what stage it is as yet only that it is in Her left ovary and somewhere on Her pelvis. They said that She has a 30% chance of surviving 5 years. She has had a couple of tests that we havnt had the results from and they are having a meeting tomorrow to finalise Her treatment plan. We have been told that She will start Chemotherepy in the next week or so. I obviously have to be strong for Her when I speak to Her on the phone but it is tearing me apart. Sounds selfish. Im not the one with Cancer. Dont know what to feel or what to do.
