Ovarian Cancer Survivor

The doctors kept telling me how huge my surgery was going to be. I was stage four Ovarian plus it spread to some of my colon. Hopefully one more chemo. Attitude is everything. I am going to be Ok and so are you!! So when your beautiful hair starts to go, You just have to say "oh well" Don't take everything too seriously.  Things will look up! Every chemo that makes you sick, just remember it is for a purpose.

I agree

For me, faith is everything, after 18 chemotherapies six hours each, and a huge and long surgery, after six months of treatment and a slow recovery, just my faith in God keep me going, some people leave some others new friends arrive, and two years later I am here thanks GOD!

When I lost my hair, was fine is just another step to be close to my victory. Keep going, see every new day like an opportunity, how many people do not have the opportunity that we have to appreciate more our lives and people around, to show our love and go deeper in our feelings.

I will pray for you, that is the gift.

Love.

My mother had breast cancer @ age 70. I've had to have a hysterectomy, but because of thinning bones, I had them leave my ovaries & fallopian tubes in. I needed all the estrogen I can get & I haven't menopaused yet.
My question is: "did you have any symptoms of ovarian problems?" I've been told that usually there aren't any symptoms. I know most women would not have left anything in there. I'm fighting to keep my bones healthy & take vitamin supplements too.
Any information you can give me is helpful. I pray everything goes well for you & your treatment.
