Unexpected news

[Rosebine2]

Well I want to say goodbye to the forum and thank you all for your support over the past few years. My OC has spread to the brain and basically I have to face things. Ive been experiencing problems for a while which I thought were unconnected, but apparently not. I knew it would come back somewhere., but brain mets are apparently rare. Im doing this while I can still think and talk a bit of sense . I hope all you going through your own journeys get good results.

I'm so sad to read this. You've fought the good fight & you, your family & friends should be very proud of the way you've managed to stay strong during your journey. It has been a privilege to have "walked" with you. I hope the end of your journey brings you the peace you hope for. Sending love.

[candyapplegrey]

Oh so sorry to hear this, Rosebine. I've always felt that we were in tandem as I think we ventured onto the forum at the same time and I've also thought we had the same type of OC and maybe even the same hospital. I am taking Granofen - which is a dog dewormer, in lieu of Fenbendazole. It has no proven track record with OC but is being trialled in US. Obviously I'm not a medic but am at the try-anything stage.

Anyway, it sounds like you're leaving Ovacome but I wondered what symptoms you've had - I'm getting occasional shooting pains in my head and sharp but spread out pains in my legs.

I pray, pray, pray that something can be done to help you. Are you on your own (with the dog)? Can I do anything to help?

Hello Candy,

Thank you very much for your message and for sharing your experiences and kind support on this post.

I am sorry to read that you have been experiencing shooting pains in your head and pain in your legs. I can see that Annie has already messaged you about this on another post, but I hope that you are able to speak with your clinical team about this and that these symptoms resolve soon.

You mentioned in the post above that you have been taking Granofen which is a dog wormer. We encourage anyone who is considering taking complementary or alternative treatments to speak with their clinical team first to ensure that they are safe and will not interact with any ongoing cancer treatments. It is also important that they are aware should you experience any side effects. Your clinical team can also support you to understand if there is any evidence base behind complementary or alternative therapies. Cancer Research UK have some information about the safety of complementary and alternative therapies on their website and I will put a link to this here if you would like to read more: cancerresearchuk.org/about-...

The Ovacome support team are also always on hand to look up any information that may be helpful for you too, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if there is every anything that we can help with.

Best wishes,

Cathryn

Very sorry to hear this. I communicated with you some time ago now, just before you had the op. Praying that you have plenty of support around you at this time. Take all of the help that is offered to you. People will be only too happy to help. Wishing you and your darling dog all the best. Thinking of you.

dear Rosebine2

This is really worrisome and sad.

Sharing this news must be so tough. Unfortunately I am learning about OC thru other peoples symptoms.

I am terminal w all the meaning that it has. But for others I always wish(ed) the best for road ahead.

I wish you quiet peace without pain

[Riverflo]

Sending love and best wishes to you for this tougher part of the journey. I hope it is comfortable and that you will still be able to write in sometimes or at least read in.All the best, Martine xx
