Oh Cazy1010

I am so sorry, you are going through such a lot right now.

Now that they are investigating you will find that one thing follows another until there’s a diagnosis and a plan. There’s still a possibility of it being something else.

You can choose how much information you want to take in. Don’t feel you have to be on top of it all.

Please tell your Doctors about your situation, they have a duty of care for your mental health as well as your physical health.

I didn’t want to know stage or prognosis at the outset and I am glad I avoided it. I was less scared as a result.

You may not feel strong now but trust yourself, you have more strength than you know. xx

I am so sorry to read that you are going through such a lot at the moment. I was the same, very worried, but once I had a diagnosis and plan I felt better. I joined this group and the Friday chat on zoom and everyone has been really very supportive and will support you. The waiting is horrid. Sending a big hug and positive thoughts for you. Xx

Hi Cazy- YES you can deal with it. I am so sorry for your loss, I too lost my Brother, Mum & Dad all in the last three years to Covid. On top of that I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It was my son that gave me the determination to push through. I understand what you are going through, try to be positive and hope all goes well for you.

Sending hugs

was in the same position. Lost my husband early December 2020 February 2021 found had cancer. Had a full hysterectomy and hopefully cancer removed. With the help of my family and hospital 2 years on at the moment OK. Please do not give up. There is plenty of support out there. Overcome have also been a great help.

Have faith all the best

I just want to send hugs and say I am sorry you are dealing with this on top of losing your husband. You are being treated at a top hospital which is great. I do hope you have friends and family to support you. Best of luck with everything. Xx

Cazy, I am so sorry that you no longer have the love and support your husband provided in the past. And now to be faced with possibly having ovarian cancer. I pray that you do not have OC, but if you do, you will not be alone. You will find that your teal sisters in the UK and in many other countries are here to share information and to help you carry on.

Best wishes to you from New Orleans, Louisiana.

Gosh , to lose one’s husband then contend with the uncertainty surrounding your own health , beggars belief.

Do hope the outcomes is not what you fear.

The Christie’s is a 1st class hospital so you are in excellent hands. Do let us all know the results & hopefully whatever it is we can support you in various ways.

Cheers,
