Hi! I was diagnosed, stage 1A., 3 1/2 yrs ago. I was almost 39 yrs old. Yes, I agree losing my hair was hard. However, it will grow back before you know it & you will feel like yourself again. Hoping you feel better!

Hi! Welcome to the site! I am 44, was diagnosed in January 2013 & just had my 4th chemo. If you have my questions, let me know. We are all here anytime you need. Hang in there!

Welcome to our WhatNext family! We like to think of ourselves as a safe harbor from storms of confusion and that can swirl around cancer treatment. A place of understanding and concern, helpful non medical knowledge (with a chemo nurse who give us helpful hints on more). I have stood in your shoes (I was DX with Stage IV ovarian cancer seven years ago). God gave me my husband for support and family of helpers AND made me stronger than I ever thought I could be! I made it. You can Too!!! I was twenty years older than you when I started this journey... I'm about to celebrate my 70th birthday... I know it sounds old.. but it feels wonderful sitting watching the ducks in the pond out back. I'm planning what to wear to grandson's wedding in August. I've added two new grandchildren AND two great grandchildren. AND I've been cancer free since surgery in Feb. 2006. Oh there was the nearly two years of chemo... some side effects with me till today. But I'm me and I'm praising God, my wonderful gynecologic oncologist surgeon for saving my life. I'm here if you have any questions of if you just want to chat. PLUS I'm great at cyber (((((Hugs)))))/
