@Courtney_J Hi, I'm new here and new to ovarian cancer. For me it was back pain, fatigue, and a weird feeling in my pelvic area. I thought that I was maybe going into early menopause and when to see my gynocologist. She ordered a few tests and scans and that was it. I'm really scared for what's next.

I am brand new to the cancer diagnosis and I am terrified of chemo. Is there any advice on handling that?

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.
