Hi, I am 65 and have been 'dancing' with stage 4 Ovarian cancer since June 2015. I have had treatment involving surgery, chemo and trial drugs for 14 months so far and am due to finish Nov 2016. Both my daughter (40) have been confirmed with the BRACA1 gene and are waiting to speak again with the generic clinic. I use the expression 'dancing with cancer' because I have days when I could jive or jig about and other's when a waltz would leave me pooped! I have a incredibly supportive family and friends but is it normal to some times feel so alone? I try to use my good days to walk to the library, meet friends and live the fullest life I can, during the 'not so good' days I try to do chores in the morning and rest, read or knit during the afternoon. Can anyone tell me how long after treatment I will feel normal again? I feel selfish asking as I am apparently coping well. I don't know if anyone will read this but just saying these things out loud can almost put them into perspective.
