So sorry Yvonne you got this news. I imagine from what you are saying you didnt expect to have a recurrence so soon. Hopefully the onc will have a plan for you on Tues that will give you a longer remission. It is devastating to get that phone call. I hope you have been able to focus on other things this weekend which I doubt somehow. Sending you a big hug, it is a hard road but as long as its manageable we live in hope
Hi Yvonne - just trying to send you some positivity and my thoughts are with you. Have you or are you scheduled for a ct? I'm also facing the possibility of a recurrence - my latest ca125 is raised and I have a ct booked for the 6th.
We mustn't let this hideous disease get the better of us - thereaare so many ladies on here who have faced this more than once - try to dry your tears and take heart - sending much love Xxx
I do know that awful sinking feeling when you're told that the cancer is back. I'm on 6th line treatment now and have lived 11 years since diagnosis and been very well in between treatments. Of course it still really upsets me when I an told its back again but I've decided to lice life as fully as I can to do my best to enjoy the good times. Easier said than done sometimes I know. Fingers crossed the treatment will knock the little b out again
Hi Yvonne really sorry you had the news none of us want
But you kicked it's butt and once you get over the initial shock have no doubt you will kick its butt again and hopefully a longer remission virtual hugs be thinking of you on Tuesday x babs
Hi Yvonne, sorry you've had this news. I know what it's like as I got told the same after only 8 months clear but on a positive note, I'm 10 months on from that and have still not started chemo. Hang on in there, you've done it before and can do it again. Sending you a virtual hug. Ann xo
So sorry you had this over the weekend. I do hope your onc has a plan that can beat the beast for longer next time. Hard to do i know, but chin up and keep positive. I firmly beleive that our positive attitude helps us. Hope you find yours. Xxxxx
Sorry to hear that. I had a recurrence and have been free for 15 months so maybe you'll have longer next time. I'm facing a second recurrence and more chemo but they want me off avastin for a couple of months before starting that. I feel much more positive this time as the outcome was good for my second treatment. Hope they find somethign that works for you and sends the ugly friend away again.
So sorry to hear that you have to deal with the beast again. Try and think positively, what you've done once, you can do again. Thinking positive thoughts for you.
Really sorry to read this, I can only imagine so far what that is like after having gone through it all once and gone with my oncologist's recommendation not to have routine blood tests which who knows whether it's the right thing to do but just burying my head in the sand for the moment! So, like Ann, you may not need further treatment for some time and I hope if/when you do you will be like so many ladies on this site and get a good result again. It is so hard living with this monkey on our shoulder and doing our best to keep up our spirits, thank god for this site where we can all come in good times and bad to share our experiences.
Yes. I did feel more despondent second time around. It was difficult to turn "Been there, done that" into "still there, still doing that" but once I had settled into treatment again my spirits recovered. We need our friends and here we find them. I hope the gloom wears off for you and you can face the future with support from those you love and from the sensible ones on this site. Wishing you strength and good professional advice. XXLiz
Hi, must be a nasty shock to learn of a recurrence.But I feel that it's probably round the corner for most of us!! And we have to keep fighting!! During this past twelve months, both myself and my husband gave been diagnosed with cancer and having treatments, whilst planning my daughters wedding which has been cancelled once because of my treatment. Also selling our house, which has fallen through three times, now my mother has died, I think What the hell else???
Today the sun shines and we have life to embrace!! So we have to think of this disease , not as terminal, but as a chronic complaint to be controlled.
Yvonne..so sorry to hear your news. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. It's a tough break,but you sound strong. You'll kick the monster's ass again! Judy
