Dear Lisanjca, Welcome. I just read about your incredible news that your CAT scan is clear and your CA 125 is normal. I don't know your entire story. I presume that your surgeon in still going to operate due to another finding such as an abnormal vaginal exam or a positive vaginal ultrasound. I sure hope you are free of cancer. Please keep us posted. Wishing you the best.0August 2018

Hi there, Lisanjca. Just wondering if you'd had your surgery and what the outcome was. I'm really hoping that you're fine and do not have any form of cancer.
Please do let us know if you can. We care. Hugs.0August 2018 -
Hi Lisanjca, welcome to the site. I am sorry you were recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I know I was in debelief and upset when first finding out. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is to find a good gynochologist onchologist to head your medical care. There are very good ones in New York City, not too far from you. I traveled more than 2 hours back and forth for my treatments because there were no gyn/ oncs where I live. Also when you meet with your doctor take someone with you and write down all your questions before hand. I am not going to tell you the treatments are easy, but they are DOABLE? Take things “ one day at a time”. Reach out to the community with any questions or to individuals on their walls. Everyone on WhatNext is here to give you the extra support every survivor needs. Wishing you better days, sending a hug and here to talk anytime.0July 2018

Hi Lisanjca -- welcome to WhatNext.com. I'm a fellow ovarian/fallopian tube survivor.
In 2013, I was diagnosed at stage IV with epithelian ovarian cancer. The initial treatment was rough but I made it through. My life has changed a lot and I've had two recurrences but I'm still here and always hopeful.
Seems like this is rather new to you and I remember those days. Scary, worrisome, hectic, and sad. But as you get further into treatment, you'll see that the future can still be bright. Hold onto hope.
Please take some time to explore this site and check out the links, resources, Pinboard, and questions pages. The information there is great. The rest of us here are also happy to connect and answer your questions about our cancer journeys and how you can navigate the changes to come.
Best of luck! Hope to hear from you soon.0July 2018 -
