Recurrence

I know with over OVCA (or any cancer), everyone hopes for “one and done”, but life sometimes doesn’t work out that way. I have had a number of reoccurrences but want to share that so far I’ve been knocking them back with various treatments, whether it be chemo, radiation, targeted therapy, immunotherapy. I don’t think I’ll ever be free of this disease, but I continue the ongoing fight and so far I have been able to knock it back since 2008. I know a recurrence is the last thing anyone wants to hear, but I wanted to let you know that if it does happen, it’s not the end of the world. I hope this resonates with some of you. Keep Fighting! Sending Love and Prayers to All.

Thank you so much Leniko, this is a very timely message! I see my oncologist on Friday to find out what treatment he's planning for my first recurrence. It's so good to hear positive stories, you've been through so much but are still strong and fighting 💙

Thanks for your post Leniko, great to hear you're so positive and dealing with reoccurrences so well. I will see my onc this Tuesday for scan results as rising Ca125, so your post has really helped. Take care💞
