Outcome

[Clifden1]

Hi guys I went in

and had surgery mon I am high grade serous stage 3c I was very nervous especially about having a stoma bag my gynecologist oncologist came to see me after surgery he said everything went really well very little there dead tissue which he removed when he went in he told me I was now zero cancer and I would have 6 weeks chemo for assurance he said it was the best outcome I had received and I should be very happy i didn't realise I could be zero cancer from chemo I feel I should be celebrating and I am just saying how does that happen can anyone else share any light for me xxxx

Hi Clifden1, Well done on getting through your surgery, be kind to yourself and take care. From a fellow 3C, my last chemo was in November 2010. I am alive and well and misbehaving, you can too. 😘

Let's just say your a very lucky girl and have a very high chance of cure so break out the champagne you have a lot to celebrate. Well done you. Sue xx PS By the way take it easy and no heavy lifting you don't want a hernia, make sure it's not the huge bottle of champagne haha 😂😂

I second that about no heavy lifting, or use of abs. Even when the outside looks healed, you have to take care of the inside. I have a little hernia which I'm sure could have been avoided if I had understood that better. x

I'm sorry to hear that they don't warn you when you come out of Hospital. Take care Sue xx

I live in Spain so I think some things got lost in translation. 😃

Hello Cilfden1Lucky you! Sounds like the chemo really did the job and now you are ‘no evidence of disease’ or NED as you will read in some posts.

I remember finding it hard to take in having had 4 chemo and then this big op... but yes celebrate gently when you feel up to it! xx

Hi Clifden, delighted to read that you got through the op OK & it was a bonus to wake up with no stoma. I had my op first, they took any cancer they could see with the naked eye & then the 6 chemo after cleans up anything left behind. You had it in reverse & the chemo did the job it's supposed to do but you still needed the op to make sure there was no more cancer left. Now just take it easy & get your strength back for the other 6 weeks of chemo. Not sure if that answers your question but hopefully it does. Mind yourself & treat yourself for getting through the op with great results 🌸
