Scared n waiting

Hi i was diagnosed with  ovarian cancer in June and after having a ct scan was also found 2 have breast cancer but was found early been a whirlwind last few months had to have full hysterectomy 3 months ago was told it was then stage  2b  then  had a  lumpectomy 3 weeks ago n was lucky all removed and lymph nodes clear so no radiotherapy needed i had another ct scan last week just waiting 4 results n a date 2 start my chemo been positive all the way through everything but scared about the chemo n the future also awaiting results from a genetic test as I am only 46 and no other female  member in my family have had cancer I'm lucky have family n friends to talk to but sometimes hard as now they all worried 4 me so tend to bottle it up

  • Hi Bev, sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with cancer. You have come to the right place though as people on here either have cancer, or are caring for a loved one with it. I don't have your same type of cancer, I have others, but cancer is cancer for sure. Are you having chemo for the ovarian cancer? I know there are other posters on here with breast and ovarian cancers, so my response to you will bump you up to the first page again where hopefully, someone who can relate to your type of cancer will respond. Its' always helpful to communicate with others with the same cancer has you, but I guess cancer is cancer in any case.

    Good luck with your upcoming scan results and I wish you well in the future. Come back on here and let us know how things go for you. I know what you mean about friends and family being worried, but they mean well I guess. People who have never had a cancer diagnosis really have no idea how it feels. I guess that's why this forum is a God send.

    Take care.
