Stage cancer ovarian

[Anamcara63]

Hi friends I an newly diagnoised with ovarian cancer stage 3 with cancer on bits of bowel and diaphram i am geting chemo starting on tuesday morning. The dont know if its possible to operate as the cancer has spread so much. So the chemo for 6 times hoping to get most of it and shrunk tumour.

Im shocked and its like im talking about someone else. Has anyone had 6 chemo and no operation is there a quality of life after x

Hi there. I was diagnosed with Stage 3 in 2017. I too had it on my bowel, diaphragm and liver. I had surgery followed by 6 cycles of chemo. Chemo isn’t nice but you will cope and yes there is quality of life after it. You’ll get lots of support on here so even though you are undoubtedly scared and bewildered try to be positive ( I often feel like punching people when they say that to me). Good luck.

HI- YES, THERE ABSOLUTELY IS QUALITY OF LIFE AFTER CHEMO. THE DRUGS THEY HAVE TODAY ARE VERY GOOD AND YOU DO RECOVER FROM THEM. I KNOW HOW SCARY IT IS WHEN YOU FIRST GET THE NEWS BUT THERE ARE SO MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO WILL HELP YOU THROUGH IT. WHICH CHEMO WILL YOU BE ON? REMEMBER THE GOAL IS TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF IT AND YOU WILL. STAY POSITIVE!

BEST OF LUCK,
