Welcome to our forum, John and thank you for sharing your story with us.

It sounds like you've been through a lot but are maintaining a positive outlook, it's great to hear that despite these challenges you're leading a near normal life and staying positive. 

While I can't offer medical advice, I can say that it's not uncommon for individuals who have undergone extensive treatments like chemotherapy and surgery to experience other health issues down the line. If you're experiencing symptoms like dumping and reflux, it might be helpful to discuss them with your healthcare provider to explore management options.

Hopefully, other forum members who have had a similar experience will come in shortly to talk with you and offer some insight and advice. Until then, if you think that it could be helpful to ask some questions to one of our nurses, please know that the team can be reached on this number 0808 800 4040 Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. 

Keep taking care of yourself, and know that you're not alone in this.

With best wishes,

Hi,

Not exactly the same, but I was diagnosed with OC at stage 4 in 2013. 
I’m having a CT scan every year to check whether or not it’s returned. 
Are you still on the daily chemo tablets, or did you stop those?
It all feels a bit surreal, doesn’t it? 
My consultant reckons that the longer someone is in remission, the more likely they’ll be a long term survivor.

Good luck!
Dave
