I was diagnosed with Cancer in March and although we knew it was Cancer its still a shock to be told it. I have had 2 chemo cycles now and have my 3rd at the end of the month. I would love to chat about the chemo side affects to anyone..
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the ladies and anyone else who reads our messages.... Hope you all enjoy this holiday time with your family's and friends.... Relax and have a few drinks. I shall be raising a glass or 2 to our dear friend Rose and thinking about her lovely family.....
I hope you are all coping well, I too would like to you wish you all a Happy Christmas and that the New Year will be a great one for all. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Hello everybody, may I join you and introduce myself? I opened a new thread on this subject the other day in the "introduce yourself" section, but I really wanted to get onto this site. I am 67 yo and live in Essex, UK and have recently been diagnosed as having tumours on both ovaries, plus some areas on the omentum and outer bowel. However, my hospital MDT wants to ascertain whether my ovaries are the primary site or secondary to breast ca I had 15 years ago before planning my treatment, so I've just had a biopsy and await results on 22nd Feb. I found your site about a month ago and was both heartened by all your posts, and at the same time scared - not of the treatment particularly but the outcome. Some days I feel that I won't get through this, other days I think "No, you won't get me, you (expletive deleted!)"
The last post on your site was 28th Dec, I have been checking, so I hope you are all getting along OK
I have just read your post and I am sorry your going through this yet again. I have not been on the site for a while and was only thinking yesterday I must post something.
Please don't let some of our stories scare you as we are all in the same boat and we all manage to get through the treatments. I feel for you having to wait until the 22nd. You are probably thinking constantly about the results and it seems unfair that we have to wait that long. Whatever the outcome though there is always treatment you can have.
Hopefully the other ladies will come back on site now we have a new lady.
welcome to our little group, we have been quiet for a while, I haven't been on the computer much lately, life just gets in the way sometimes lol.
I just hope that being able to chat to someone about your symptoms will be as helpful to you as it is to me, I have always found great comfort knowing there is somewhere here to talk to, other than always bogging down my family with my concerns.
Eileen I hope you are doing good and Tony it is good to see your post, sorry that chemo is taking its toll on you. Haven't heard from Jackie, I am hoping that all is well with her too and the others of our group
I just wish I could get some treatment started, horrible as it may be, to relieve me of some of the constant nagging of these tumours - I seem to have been waiting forever, 2 steps forward and one step back, having this scan and that scan, this test and that test! Roll on 22nd!
Sorry to moan, but I know you all know what it's like, that's the best thing about this site.
