Hi - not sure how to start.
2 days ago I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I am in complete shock I called 111 after having a headache constantly for 3 weeks and was sent to a&e and then sent off home with antibiotics for a sinus infection. 2 days later I was called back for more tests and felt so much worse. I was admitted into hospital and had all the scans and tests and told there was a large tumour on my ovary. I am only 31 and have never had any issues with my overies or periods or anything. there is no history of this in the family.
i am really struggling to take this in. my appetite over the last few weeks has already gone. i cant sleep, i am in a lot of pain. i am completely terrified and as a self confessed workaholic i am struggling already out of routine. i am waiting now to be told my treatment plan.
i dont know what to do to look after myself, what food can i eat? can i have sugar in my tea ? how can i keep active when i can barely move due to bloating
thanks in advance
