  • Hello Tracy1234, 

    I can completely understand why your anxiety is sky high at the moment; you are going through an awful lot and I am so sorry that you have been diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. How unfortunate that you had a stroke so soon after your first chemotherapy treatment and that it means you can't have the operation - this must be so hard for you especially if your cancer markers have gone up. End of October? That's a really long time to have to wait for your results and I hope that you won't have to wait that long! Perhaps you could speak to your doctor or medical team about your concerns and see if there is any way you could have your results sooner so that you know how things are progressing. 

    We're thinking of you during this tough time and I wanted you to know that you are not alone. I will now let other members who have been affected by ovarian cancer in a similar way come and say hello and share their story with you. 

    Best wishes,
