Ovarian small cell carcinoma

Hello

I am looking to talk with anyone who has or knows of someone with ovarian small cell carcinoma.

i am 30 years old and 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with this type of cancer which unfortunately has spread to my lung. It’s a very rare form of cancer as it doesn’t usually start in the ovary and there is very little research out there.

I have been told I am incurable and I will lucky to survive up to 12 months. I have had two doses of chemotherapy and I am now awaiting a CT scan to see it there has been any improvement.

i would like to also speak to others who are in a similar situation to me as the guilt I feel looking into my family’s  eyes putting them through this rips me apart. I am trying my best to stay strong and live my life as much as possible but I have never felt so lonely.

im am sorry I have come across so glum but I think I would really benefit from some advice.

thank you x

  • Hello, 

    I am so sorry to hear of your diagnosis.  I don’t know anything about your type of cancer but replied knowing you will go back to top of list.

    Please stop feeling guilty.  Your family will want to love  and support you through this.  Let them - that will make them happy.  You did nothing, none of us did, for these random cells to grow out of control.

    Love yourself and let your family love you
