caryatid

I was diagnosed at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (Fred Hutchinson). My doctor specializes in T-Cell blood cancers, but they have many very sharp doctors on staff there.

Hello and welcome, Caryatid. I'm up the coast from you in the San Francisco area. My diagnosis came a year ago - I'm stage IV. After a year of chemo, surgery and more chemo, my scans are now clear and I just finished my maintenance chemo. I'm looking forward to getting back to the business of living and loving life.

Your profile doesn't tell us a lot about you and that's OK. But if you have questions or want info or would like to share anything, this is a great place to do those things. You won't find a more understanding or helpful group.

Hi caryatid,welcome to the WhatNext site. I am 68 and my family found this site for me Sept.2013 when I was diagnosed with IIIC ovarian cancer. Everyone here has been affected by this xxx disease and we are all finding and giving support to each other. Share your journey, ask questions, vent. Most important that you have a good Gyn/Onc to head your medical team and be your own advocate for your medical care.A second opinion can be helpful. Noneof the treatments for cancer are easy, but they are DOABLE. Wishing you better days ahead. Take care, talk anytime.
