I'm pleased to say that I've just been offered a place at next years London Marathon with Ovacome. I've been trying to get in for the last 3 yrs so I'm very proud to be raising some money for Ovacome :)).
I still haven't been able to get my blood results from last week 
Fantastic Lorraine, what an achievement, I hope you are very proud of yourself.

I wish I could help I really do sending you my love and my prayer x G x
Thanks Gwyn
If you need to unload I am always here..you could PM me a problem shared is a problem halved..no pressure though love x G x
Hi Scardycat
Firstly well done for getting a place in the marathon, you must be so pleased.
Sorry to hear about your CA125 results, I do know how you feel. Had my first checkup after remission last Thursday and mine had gone up by 19 so I had to have a CT scan today. Seeing consultant for results next Thursday. Fingers crossed for both of us.
Also so sorry to hear of the ending of your relationship, you obviously did this for very good reasons - good luck to you. You know that there are always so many people on this site that care and are here for you when you need to sound off.
Take care
Love Linda xx
Thanks Linda you comments have just brought tears to my eyes
Sorry didn't mean to make you cry! This site has helped me so much and made me feel so much more positive, I know everyone understands. xx
I'm just a bit emotional today I cried during reiki
Do you find reiki helps? I used to have it before every chemo but must admit haven't since. The only thing I didn't like was she tried to draw me on the subject of death and I just couldn't handle it. She also said she saw me walking down a golden path through a wood, very nice but not yet thanks!
Usually it does help and I did feel a bit calmer afterward but I was just too wound up
This sounds really scary...I am not surprised you gave it up...but at the risk of being shouted down... I wouldn't go there anyway...each to their own...love x G x
I was advised it would help, but it really scared me at a time when I was in a very bad place. I say each to his own and do whatever helps you, but I have found this site has helped more than anything and some of the lovely friends I have found.
Love Linda xx
I think if that had happened to me I would have been put off and this site is wonderful which is why Ui'm so excited about raising some money if I can
I will try anything - within reason! Good for you I'm sure you will raise a lot x
Dear Lorraine
It's really good news that you've got a place in the London Marathon. I'll definitely sponsor you for that. I'm so full of admiration for you as it's a tough run but I've heard the atmosphere is terrific and it's a great goal to aim for.
I'm really sorry to hear your CA125 has gone up. That's what we all dread. I'll wait to hear how the CT scan goes and what they feel is going on.
I'd imagine you have mixed feelings about splitting up with your partner. It's still a shock even if it is your decision. It sounded last year as though it wasn't the most supportive relationship and I would be thinking the same way as you if that were the case. Better to be on your own than to feel unsupported in a cluttered relationship. It's. a tricky time but we're always here for you.
When my previous marriage split up I was devastated. My friend brought round a little clipping she'd found in a magazine. A heart with the words, 'The rest of my life starts here'. It helped to realign my thinking. Years later when I was happy I passed on the scrap to a friend who was going through a rough patch. I'm sending a virtual replica to you hoping that it helps you through the times ahead.
Loads if love, Annie
Annie are you getting mixed up with someone else or perhaps you are referring to my previous relationship. I've only been seeing this bloke for the last couple of months and now he say's he doesn't want to split up.
I went to see the gall bladder consultant this morning and all that has been put on hold and he won't do anything until my oncologist gives him the all clear. He has also advised me that it may be unlikely that he will be able to do it as a keyhole procedure because of my previous surgery. He also made it pretty clear that he will go in and remove my gall bladder only.
I don't know what is going to happen now I'm waiting for The Christie to get in touch with me
Dear Lorraine, what a nightmare for you. It seems very complicated - both your health problems and personal things too. I just recalled Busy Lizzie offering some relationship advice to you last year. It is good to have someone really decent. Took me 50 years to find the right one. We got married last year after my diagnosis. Love is always bitter/sweet isn't it?
Hope you hear from the Christie very soon. xxxxx Annie
Hi ScardyCat,
I am sorry that your gallbladder op is on hold...keyhole surgery is what I had..but I did have the feeling that you wouldn't get it done that way..and I suppose he isn't qualified to take out anything else (like OC) he would need to be specialised in this..it must be very disappointing for you...you must feel that your whole life is on hold...I am sending you my best wishes I don't know whether you read my message (higher up) about PM ing me but the offer is always there...I am always here for you love x G x
Hi Lorraine
Well done for getting a marathon place. Nearer the time I will sponsor you.
Hope that everything else in your live gets sorted out- I won't add to what everyone else has said.
Love and best wishes

Hi ScardyCat,
You are an inspiration to us all. You now have a goal to look too.
Tried to do a smiley but don't think sucessful .
Love W
Hi Lorraine
I am so so sorry that this has happened, what rotten luck. Is it possible that this is due to a reason other than the ovarian cancer?
Is the gallbladder operation due to be done in the same hospital as your gynae oncology is based ? If you need another op for the ovarian issues , would it be possible for both surgeons to operate on you at the same time ? As you know I was opened up a second time by a general surgeon as there was a suggestion that the gynaecologist had sewn my gut to the abdominal wall , she hadn't as it happened. Several people said that we should have insisted that she was there too , it hadn't occured to me or to my hubby !
It's just an idea .
Lots of love
Charlie xxxx
No gall bladder surgery would be at a private hospital (on the NHS) but IF I do have a reoccurrence and need more surgery I don not want to have two separate operations. Nothing is definite until I have further tests as you are right the CA125 is only an indicator that further investigations are required. I think its the fact that my CA125 has gone up whilst having symptoms that has caused concern
Hi Lorraine! Been missing a few days, but so glad to hear you've got a place in the marathon. What a girl! What an inspiration!
Sorry to hear about the problems with your relationship. If it's not helping you to feel comforted and loved, it's not worth it though, or has all that changed now? I hope so........ and then the gall bladder too.
I hope you get it all a bit more sorted soon
Love Wendy xx
Feeling on a bit of a downer today still no word from The Christie and when I ring up there is never a consultant available. I rang Ruth who seems to understand more about how I'm feeling than I do and she has made some suggestions.
