NEEMAandGUG

I have been thinking about and praying for you and Neema. We haven't heard from you for a bit and hope things are improving.

Hi there! I'm a stage IV ovarian/fallopian tube cancer survivor and I'm happy to meet you. Although I wish neither of us was here.

Now that we are though, there are terrific tools and resources to help us on our journey. The other people here are amazing too. They know so much and are willing to share it all. Please ask any questions you may have here - you are guaranteed to get some helpful answers.

I'm happy to discuss my journey thus far too. I've had ups and downs but it's mostly good now. I'm off to chemo this afternoon but look forward to getting to know you better.

All the best,
Diann

I was diagnosed in November 2013. Just had my 5th treatment - 3 to go. I had a horrible experience with chemo first 2 treatments. The Dr. adjusted my dosage & the chemo has been controllable with the nausea meds. You just need to take this day by day. Your wife will need your daily support more than ever. My husband started cooking since food was no longer a priority for me. Nothing tasted good & some food being cooked actually made me sick. I lost 40 lbs the first 2 months. This site is a big support system & I find myself asking questions & getting moral support just with others kind words. Your wife can do this & with your help, it will be so much easier. Keep us updated on how you both are doing - we are here for you.

NEEMAandGUG.cancer blindsided me last Aug.I had been misdiagnosed for seven months with epigastric complaints.When I could no longer eat a CT scan was done revealing the cancer.My husband and I were both in denial and shock at first then angry it took so long before diagnosis. I became depressed and was,and still am,on a mild anti depressant.I am 67, my husband 71, we have been married 48 years and he is the love of my life.Over the next seven months thru chemo,surgery and more chemo he was at my side.This MEANT EVERYTHING. Fighting cancer is scary but my husband, family, and the people on this site gave me the support I needed.My husband said from the beginning we were in this together and we were.I am two months post chemo and am in remission .I was diagnosed with IIIC ovarian cancer. They told me when I joined this site that chemo was not easy but DOABLE! I tell you the same thing.You two have each other and that is powerful medicine.Take care,talk anytime.

Holding you int thought and prayer.
