As I noticed this is your first time here with us, joto, I just wanted to stop by and welcome you to the forum.

I'm sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with cancer in the fallopian tubes after being told that the cyst they removed from your ovary was not cancer, what a shock this must have been, no wonder you are frightened. 

I hope you will get to chat with some of our members who can relate to your situation but in the meantime, I wanted to send you some information we have on our website about fallopian tube cancer, hopefully, that can be of some help.

Also, our cancer nurses are available to talk with you if you feel like asking them some questions before you see your medical team again. They're available on this phone number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Keep us posted as you move along, joto. We're thinking of you.

Warm wishes,

Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi thanks for the reply and the welcome.

I have now had my second surgery and finding the recovery painful and slow, which I,ve been told is normal.  I have been told I will need chemo now as during my first surgery my Fallopian tube, that was cancerous, was ruptured so there may be some cells floating around.  

I am feeling that I should be grateful they operated and took away all the cancer but it's so hard now to face chemo.  It feels like this will never end, 4 months of more needles, blood tests etc scare me.  I also have to inject myself with a blood thinner every day.  All these needles, prodding, poking etc feels like too much to bear.  

I am trying to do this for my family but finding it so hard.

Dear Joto

I appreciate how hard this must be and sometimes the only motivation is your family.  I am just starting on my journey and cannot begin to understand how you must be feeling.  When my friend was knee deep in chemo and had just about had enough, what got her through was the thought that the rubbish she was dealing with today was so that she could have better times later.  Sometimes the later was hard to see and others a little easier but it seemed to help her through and maybe will be of some help to you x
