I am so sorry. I have ovarian cancer. I had a full hysterectomy followed by chemotherapy then because the cancer spread I had 12 months of the drug Avastin.  I finished treatment a few weeks ago.

My last scan was clear. I can understand what you are going through and send you love x

Hi. Sending you lots of love. I have womb cancer so different but a colleague of mine had ovarian cancer and she was given bad news. She then asked if she could take part in a clinical trial. She said it worked. She's a lovely, energetic lady. Perhaps you already have but ask about clinical trials. Xx

Thank you for replying. So glad to hear that your scan was clear.  I'm going on a drug called Niraparib which hopefully I should start at the beginning of March. I just can't get very hopefully. I've been told it won't get rid of it, just give me more time.

best wishes x

Thank you for replying. I'm going on a drug call Niraparib which has only just been approved for use in the last 2 weeks. I wonder if this is the drug from the clinical trail your colleague had? Going to try this drug first. If doesn't work will be asking about clinical trials. It is something I have discussed with them at the beginning of my treatment. But they wanted to get me started quickly as in so much pain and any clinical trials would have taken time.

Best wishes x

hi Puffin

i am so sorry to hear you are going through this. It is an incredibly difficult time for you.

I have recently been diagnosed and won't know anything more until I meet with my oncologist. I go from optimism to despair in a heart beat. I have a deep faith and have handed this all over to the only person who can change the course of my life. I have days fuelled with anger and then self loathing for being so selfish. You have children to consider and I truly understand your fears.

 A few other people have mentioned this but I read a great article on the new ovarian cancer drug called 

Niraparib which they say is the latest breakthrough for ovarian cancer. Take heart in the fact that you are young and strong and you can sustain the treatment. Have faith,keep a positive attitude and make sure you fuel your body with lots of goodness to keep you strong. Excercise when you can and rest when you need to.  If you can, try meditation to cope with your anxiety levels 

sending you hope and love x
 

Hi Meetski

Thank you for your response. I wish you luck and hope with your diagnosis.

I'm placing hope on this new drug and that I am fit otherwise. I'm going to have good and bad days. I'm hoping I will be able to accept it soon and live my life again for as long as I can.

sending love x
