Welcome 827sweetp,. I am also stage 3 C, 61 years old. I was diagnosed in 2015. I suppose you are receiving Frontline chemotherapy now. It is tough. Many of us have been through it. Feel free to ask any questions. We remember chemo. We would like to help.0February 2019

Hello, hello. Welcome to WhatNext.com, 827sweetp. This is a terrific place to get advice, support, a sympathetic ear and more -- the folks here definitely "get it".
I was originally diagnosed in 2013 with stage IV ovarian cancer and thought it was a death sentence. Initial treatment was rough but I made it through. My life has changed a lot in the five-plus years since I heard the words "We think you have cancer."
Since that original diagnosis, I've had two recurrences and recently stopped treatment with Avastin and Topotecan so I can get a much-needed knee replacement. My tumors are very small and have been stable so I hope they continue to behave as I can't be undergoing chemo and have the knee surgery. That surgery is scheduled for Monday. Yippee.
Please take some time to explore this site and check out the links, resources, Pinboard, and questions pages. You'll find lots of great information as well as a few chuckles. The people here are also happy to connect and answer your questions about our cancer journeys and how you can navigate the changes to come.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to connect.0February 2019 -
Hi, welcome to the site. I read your experiences and remember well the fatigue from the chemo treatments. I was diagnosed stage IIIC back in 2013 at the age of 66. I came to WhatNext needing to connect with other survivors and find out more about the journey ahead. I found a very welcoming community of caregivers and other survivors all here to help each other with advice, information, and most importantly, additional support. I learned early on to take things “ one day at a time “. This was difficult for me at first but really helped me during treatment. I was also informed that the treatments were difficult but DOABLE!
Please look the site over. Ask or perhaps help answer other’s questions and be sure to visit the pin board. We also have supportive videos and blogs. All of us on WhatNext are here to support you and we are all stronger together.0February 2019 -
Hello and welcome, we are happy to have you with us. Please feel free to join in the conversations. Here is a link to our cancer dx page for your type of cancer. Take a look at it to get you started on some information. You will notice at the bottom of that page 4 of our active users who have had that journey already, you may wish to contact them for their experience and wisdom. Also, I encourage you to go to the questions page now by clicking on the questions tab at the top of the page and post what is the most pressing issue you have right now. This will introduce you to the community and get you started with the help you need right now.

There are also subtypes listed on this page to narrow down the type of cancer to match your dx. Also, if you can take a few minutes and fill in some details of your journey so far, it will help others as they try to answer questions for you, it also helps others as they search through the database to find someone like themselves. Confirming your email will allow you to receive updates and notices from the site when someone answers your questions or writes on your wall.
Thanks for being with us and let me know if I can help you find any information on the site.
