SURGERY TOMORROW

Full debulking surgery tomorrow. Got to be at hospital by 7am. Nerves alright at the moment, doubt if I'll sleep much tonight. Expect it will be emotional when my husband leaves me at the hospital doors and I wave him goodbye.Full debulking surgery tomorrow. Got to be at hospital by 7am.

Felling wobbly after surgery

Hello ladies, I had my debulking surgery on Friday. The surgeon has told me that there are tiny traces of disease left that the chemo will clear up. Is this normal? I guess I kind of wanted to hear that it’s all gone, feeling wobbly xxxHello ladies, I had my debulking surgery on Friday.

Reoccurrence during chemo?

Diagnosed stage 3c OC two months ago, debulking surgery already done, finished 2 of 6 rounds of carbo/taxol/Avastin chemo. No cancer left to the naked eye save for a 4 mm mass under my liver.Diagnosed stage 3c OC two months ago, debulking surgery already done, finished 2 of 6 rounds of carbo/taxol/Avastin chemo.

Increased Ca125 and ascities

After a total hysterectomy and debulking surgery last year, I didn't think ascities could come back. This means the tumours must have grown or spread. I'm having a CT CAP tomorrow. I dread the results. 😟After a total hysterectomy and debulking surgery last year, I didn't think ascities could come back. This means the tumours must have grown or spread.

Scared

My OC returned despite being on maintenance Avastin after major debulking surgery and total hysterectomy. It's in my stomach lymph nodes, on my bowel, liver, peritoneum and omental area. I was told I might have another five years if the carbo and Caelyx work enough, so I might reach 56.My OC returned despite being on maintenance Avastin after major debulking surgery and total hysterectomy.

scar tenderness

Would sure appreciate your input - my debulking surgery was 15 months ago. Chemo finished 8 months ago. This passed week I’ve noticed parts of my scar are tender to the touch - especially at the top end of the long scar and above. Have any of you had similar this long after surgery?Would sure appreciate your input - my debulking surgery was 15 months ago. Chemo finished 8 months ago.

Feeling Alone

I was told, gently, on July 23rd, that the ovarian cancer has returned despite carbo and pacliltaxol and debulking surgery with total hysterectomy including my apendix and part of my liver. I wasn't in remission a year and the cancer is back, with friends.I was told, gently, on July 23rd, that the ovarian cancer has returned despite carbo and pacliltaxol and debulking surgery with total hysterectomy including my apendix and part of my liver.

Enlarged Liver

After stage 4a advanced serous OC, chemo, debulking surgery and more chemo, I am battling polymyalgia rheumatica and Osteoporosis. A new problem of several weeks now is upper abdominal bloating with severe pain, worse when taking deep breaths in.After stage 4a advanced serous OC, chemo, debulking surgery and more chemo, I am battling polymyalgia rheumatica and Osteoporosis.
