I’ve seen the surgeon today and am more scared than ever now.
I am in shock as I have just seen the surgeon who has told me that although he is going to operate on my ovarian cancer. It will be a full hysterectomy and debulking. He said that it’s in both ovaries, and very large and complex which is something my consultant has never said to me. He is willing to

Hello. First Post.
Other drugs like
Soma

Hysterectomy
Hi so I’m new to this and have no idea but I’m just looking for some support as I don’t know anyone who has gone through the same as me. Basically I had a hysterectomy 7 years ago because of abdomyosis and I had pre cancerous cells on my womb when I was 25 they left my overys because of my age, all went

Making it through debulking surgery. It's been tough but so far, so good 👍
Hello ladies. I joined this great community after diagnosis of stage 3c ovarian cancer in March this year. As a nurse I was petrified at the thought of going to theatre for debulking surgery, a possible stoma plus removal of any other bits. A little knowledge is a bad thing sometimes and I overanalysed

The beast is back but we have a plan and I asked about why OC recurs so often as I promised I would x
CT has shown ‘cling film’ like tumour over a part of my bowel, I had a stoma during surgery and it’s still working ok but my Ca125 has risen again from a couple of weeks ago Onc said no tumours in any organs, bones or infiltrating bowels and no ascites (phew) and had my daughter, sister and I in stitches

wanting to work when you have lupus
I am long term unemployed getting ESA and in the support group. I worry that when I have to change to UC that I will be declared fit for work and would like to find something I could do before that happens. I find the stress of trying to convince people I have health problems is affecting my health and

Mucus as bad as Diarrhea.
I had surgery for permanent colostomy / stoma and I get lots of mucus from my butt. It comes as quickly and unannounced as diarrhea did before. I'm cancer free and because of this, I don't have the severe diarrhea of the past under radiation. Tracking it without sampling, I probably get nearly 4-6 fluid
