Hi there

My situation is similar to your own.  I had my hysterectomy over 5 years ago and was told after the op by the surgeon that they did not notice anything sinister.  I choose to get the phone call and was told there were cancerous microscopic cells and I would need chemo! I was devastated!! Then I lost my dear mum just before my final chemo 5 years ago and was total heartbroken.  I found McMillan Cancer Support amazing. U could off load your worries and concerns. I hope I have been some help to you.

Take care. x

I felt exactly the same thinking it's all over for me too! You feel in such a dark place. I take antidepressants and also have a psychiatrist. I was extremely anxious starting my very first chemo treatment but the nurses are great. Everyones experience of going thru chemo is different but just keep thinking its killing the cancer cells.  I have been told I am incurable but treatable. I just keep thinking one day they will have found a cure for this awful disease.

Hope this helps. 

Thank you. You said you had your last chemo 5 years ago. How has your cancer been managed since?  I don't personally believe any cancer is curable as there is always a chance of it coming back.  I like the sound of it being treatable  I would take that as a positive.  Just 2 replies from you have brought my anxiety levels down. I am so grateful to you. Thank you 

Hi

Its 5 years this July since I finished my chemo. After that, remission for over 3 years returned a year past in December and put on Letrozole. This eventually stopped working. Then I was on watch and wait x then ca125 test started to rise and thats why Im back getting treatment.

Im glad to hear I have helped a bit x just remember there are new treatments on the horizon. Well thats what I keep saying to myself.

Take care x stay safe.

Hi. You poor thing. A lot has happened very quickly and I can understand your anxiety.

The wait for results is agonising and I am sorry that your GP is not able to give you more information about when you should expect results.  I would keep calling to make sure they manage this for you,

on the positive side, you have the all clear on your brest lump so hopefully you will have a good outcome for the ovaries too. They may have needed to do an emergency op to prevent your cyst from bursting,  I am stunned that no one has told you the reason for removing your ovaries,

mine was done privately and start to finish it was 2 weeks from the scan to getting the op and having a confirmed diagnosis so I didn't need to chase my GP

ireally hope you get your results soon and that they are good results for you.

please take care and if you can please will you let me know how you got on

best wishes 

Hi Gem

Hi Gem

were you shocked to hear that they had removed your fallopisn tubes?  I would have hoped that the surgeon would have discussed that with you beforehand!  I can imagine the anxiety of not knowing what is happening.  I really hope you get positive news  

I have had my oncology meeting and have been advised it is stage 2. I start chemo next week. I am so scared about the effects of chemo. It am keeping positive. I have started Ayurvedic treatment to boost my immunity naturally with juicing and plant based diet. I don't eat meat anyway so this is easier to follow. Let's see if this will help  My hysterectomy was 4 weeks ago and now that my stitches are out I am thinking of returning to my yoga and meditation to just get me emotionally prepared  I just feel exhausted with the worry of it all and yet I know that I am not alone :-( there are so many  rave people on this site who remain positive and determined. 

please will you let me know what your GP says about your results. Again I hope it's all good news for you. Take good care of yourself xxx
