Ovarian cancer, Diagnosis and surgery 9 days ago. dr says I am stage 3a or 3b. Anyone been in the situation?


i am 53 good general health and trying to keep a good attitude, Dr says prognosis is good but who knows? Im scared and worried chemo will be worse than the surgery which was horiffic, i had tumours around colon and scattered thru the abd, oh btw, i had total hysterectomey ( yes ovaries too) FIVE yrs ago and still got ovarian cancer, Please tell me this is survivable. I need to hear form survivors!!!!!

I am an ovarian cancer survivor. I was diagnosed in 2005 when I was 54. I had a total hysterectomy and chemo. I joined an ovarian cancer support group before I started chemo and that was one of the best gifts I gave to myself. There were women in the group who were 17-25 year survivors of stage 3 cancer..,.....,which means they were diagnosed and had chemo 17-25 years ago when chemo was not as good as it is today. So YES THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY SURVIVABLE! Please check with your oncologist BEFORE chemo and ask if they have ovarian cancer support groups in your town. I never wanted to hear the "c" word..........I had never had surgery, perfect health, hate pills, so the thought of the "c" word, surgery and chemo....I was horrified. Cried the entire first visit to the cancer center. But, I have to say, I have had the flu that was worse than chemo.........not that I would want it again,.....but, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. I will be happy to answer any questions you have. NO STRESS,. Happy thoughts. This too shall pass.

i wish the best of luck 2 ya!!鈾?/div>
