Well, I didn't have to wait until next week for my results. I received a phone call from my onco this afternoon to let me know that all the histology is back and everything from my op last week came back clear (my removed ovary, fallopian tube, appendix and biopsy of my omentum) so staging it 1a!
She still wants to see me next week (to make sure i'm fit to travel), then again in 6 weeks and again 6 months later and after that, she's happy to discharge me and any further check ups will be dictated by me and any future symptoms i may have (should I have any).
The relief is palpable! I feel like the luckiest girl alive and i'm having a big old G&T tonight to celebrate! Feel like all my christmases have come at once!
Wanted to share my good news with you all! Because without Ovacome, I wouldn't have gotten through these last few months!

Woo hood thanks Shelly! And thank you for all your help and support over the last few months. You ladies are awesome warriors and I couldn't have gotten through this without you. Wishing you all the best and will pop in and keep in touch often xx
Haha thanks hun! A glass was raised to all your wonderful women last night...I'll do the same with a nice cold cider as soon as I get to SA!! Eek! Take care xx
Thanks angelina! A MASSIVE relief! I feel 10 stone lighter! I will continue with my recovery...a little cough here and there suddenly reminds me of last week's op but cloud 9 is certainly helping with the pain relief!! Take care xx
Thanks D! South Africa here i come!!! Onwards and upwards absolutely! Thank you for all your help and guidance over the last few months. You ladies are just wonderful and have been my lifeline. I will be thinking of you all often and stopping by the see how you are all doing and keep in touch! xx
Thanks Yosh...and thanks so much for all your comments and advice over these past few months...you ladies are a lifeline and you will be in my thoughts always. Keep well hun xx
Thanks Carole...I appreciate all your comments and advice over the last few months. My stage 1a is the very best outcome I could have hoped for. I know it might come back and my remaining ovary may take the brunt of that reoccurrence, but for now, i'm grabbing this good news with both hands and running....and I will pray everyday the evil does not return! I promise to take it easy whilst i'm still recovering...but suddenly, the pain, discomfort etc etc after the op seems 10 x more manageable! Thinking positive thoughts for all your wonderful ladies too and hope the good news vibes spreads like wild fire! xx
Thank you I won't be leaving this forum, because you have all given me so much, and i'd at least like to be able to offer my experiences to any newbies who come up against the same situation as me being so young...you ladies have been a life line to me...I hope I never have to ask for anymore advice in the future, but we never know what's around the corner. I will be thinking of you all often though xx
Gosh, thank you ladies! I'm overwhelmed by your lovely comments and well wishes. I know it's likely to come back (my understanding is mucinous tumours have a tendency to do that) and i know i'll get paranoid every time i get a pain or niggle...but for now, i just feel 10 stone lighter with relief! My husband and I have so many travel plans over the next 12 months, which we are just so excited about. These plans stem for the very difficult time we had when I cared for my Mum from diagnosis to her death 3 years ago...life is too short!
I messaged all my close friends yesterday & I won't lie...there were a few tears (all of joy of course). My best friend is currently experiencing what I went through 3 years ago when I lost my darling Mum, as he only sister (only 35) is currently in her final stages of her fight with brain cancer. The phone call with her yesterday was difficult...it was bittersweet...I could tell she was happy nay overwhelmed with relief for me, but at the same time there was a 'why can't it be like this for her' tone in her voice It made me sad. And almost guilty. Because I know i would feel the same had it been when my darling Mum was ill.
Still - I will be going away with a very fresh, revitalised appetite for life and count my lucky stars each and every day...and pray this evil does not return...at least for a while! xx
Very very very good news!! All good here- back home after a week at a festival in Wales (sunburn and sogginess all in a few days!) so now putting off dealing with a mountain of washing and unpacking! Sx
