Just been told I have cancer

Hi, 

I have to go into to hospital on thursday to find out what stage my cancer is and what treatment i need. 

All I know is that I have cancer on my ovary. 

I can't believe this has happened. I've only just got my life back on track after struggling with my mental health and now this. 

I don't know what to do.

  • I am so sorry to hear your news. I was diagnosed last week with lung cancer. I can understand your world has been rocked and it seems unbelievable. I have the stage if my cancer but am now waiting for results of PET scan and MRI head scan. 
    Take strength from your loved ones and friends they will get you through. You will be stronger than you think. 
    Be kind to yourself, rest when you can. You will have lots of support from the NHS team, they will have a specialist nurse who will keep in touch. 
    Sending you hugs. Take care. X

  • Sorry to read about your results. I am a single dad of a 9yr old boy and got told l have stage 4 prostrate cancer. I am living in thailand and went to private hospitals. Changed after doctor messed up my biopsy which was so painful and could not get results from it. Next hospital was the best there is and lucky l called a hotline UK based. Lovely nurse who had plenty of knowledge. The expensive private hospital that l paid 700 pounds for an injection turned out their treatment would not work. Returning to uk and the NHS.
