Hi Sasukesuma, how are you doing?

Thanks again for helping others on the site by sharing your own personal experiences and answering their questions. Newly diagnosed members find it comforting to know that others have been where they are at and have made it through and been able to move on with life. We appreciate you!

Hi. Stopped by to thank you for welcoming a family/ friend of an ovarian cancer survivor to WhatNext. I was looking over your postings and saw your update of a month ago. Sorry you fe,t humiliated at the hospital, I have had a few humiliating episodes in a hospital myself I hope you are doing better at present.

Hi there, Sasukesuma! Welcome to WhatNext.com. I was just in your beautiful state a couple of months ago. I visited a high school friend who lives outside of Ennis. So beautiful and peaceful.

I'm sorry you have to be here with us and for what you're going through. I know it's not easy. I was in your shoes five years ago and wondering if I was going to make it to see the next summer. I was diagnosed with stage IV fallopian tube cancer and things looked pretty bleak. But with chemo and surgery, gradually my tumors died and got removed and I felt better, stronger and more like my old self. Sure, there are still days when I'm exhausted but I'm still here.

I've had a couple of recurrences and done more chemo. Right now, my tumors are stable and I'm waiting until all the chemicals are out of my system so I can get a knee replacement. Fun fun.

Bottom line: a cancer diagnosis is super scary. But it's not necessarily a death sentence. Hang in there. Who knows, in five years we can revisit this conversation. I look forward to getting to know you better in that time and seeing how you improve.

Hugs!

Welcome to our 'WhatNext' family. I'm glad you found us. I was 62 when diagnosed with Stage IV Ovarian Cancer. I asked God to take my hand and lead me to where He wanted me to be. Here I am 75 years old and telling you that this can be beaten... I was referred to a Gynecologic Oncologist Surgeon... He did the surgery, removing a 39 pound tumor, my ovaries, and then he scraped all the cancer he could see from my intestines, fat pads, urethra! Did strong chemo for both I/V and I/P infusions for six 28 day cycles. Day 1 was I/V infusion, days 2 and 8 were I/P (inter-peritoneal). THEN we went to strong chemo I/V infusions once a month for a year... May God bless you!

Hi Sasukesuma, welcome to the site. Thank you for sharing your journey so far, and I am sorry you have had an especially rough one. I came to WhatNext in 2013 after being diagnosed with stage IIIC ovarian cancer. I came to the sight seeking information and to find out more about the treatments ahead of me. I found not only information but a welcoming and supportive community of caregivers and survivors. Please look over the resources the site offers and ask any questions you may have using the question tab. You can talk with other survivors on their walls. I would be happy to talk to you anytime. At WhatNext we are all here to help each other. Wishing you better days ahead.
